Why are people surprised that Zionists are being abhorrent at these protests and then sayin they’re victims. Ig surprised isn’t the right word but people keep pointing out ‘this doesn’t make sense’ like it’s a fallacy in a discord debate like this is just how racism has always been

#sometimes I feel like no matter how much I donate or speak its not enough #but my hopelessness and depression do nothing for Palestinians either #even if I cry it’s not helping at all #even if donating doesn’t feel like enough it gets someone THAT much closer to escaping #but Im so so sick of this #specifically the way people keep trying to give Zionists the benefit of the doubt #like i understand calling out the hypocrisy but white people genuinely seem baffled that they victimize themselves and say they’re afraid #whilst doing heinous shit #that’s not new behavior #trying to educate Zionists does nothing my focus is always going to be on the Palestinian people and how I can help as materially as #possible #actually bad wording education isn’t useless #i just think approaching most Zionists in a humanizing way doesn’t help #trying to start on common ground and coax them to you #that works for ignorant people these people are cruel not stupid #These Justifications that we know are terrible and barbaric make sense to them bc the victims are brown #like it seems like y’all wanna avoid that point so bad and keep speaking on class or other shit #the root of the matter is that they can piss on graves and say they’re scared because that’s the narrative around brown people #it always has been to them! to a lot of you!#i know it’s not conflating to draw comparisons between oppressions but not in the mindspace for that so I’ll just say #for all the white people confused about the ‘logic’ there just take a look at history #recent history even like the way they treat us is not new this is just on such a wide violent scale yall finally cant ignore it anymore #i hope everyone gets what they fucking deserve from this #i hope every martyr can rest easily and that every single soldier and bystander involved in this fucking rots and burns
