[–] middlemouse@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) What have you done that's actual made a difference? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Yermaw@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago Or what would he expect someone to do? The best you can do is share information, information that you've been simply told yourself. Every time I've tried to express the opinion that "yeah that's not OK" I end up bombarded with whataboutism and do you even begin to comprehend the previous 3000 years of history and how dare you have an opinion when you didn't even consider why they're doing it etc etc etc. By the end I just give up. I can't even be sure Israel actually exists. It's on maps. People talk about it. I haven't actually been there and verified it's real, never mind what goes on over that way. Turns out all you can actually do is keep your own little world clean. permalink fedilink source parent
