I tried to find common ground with those of you who think Israel has crossed a line. Y’all’s response was “fuck you you racist, not good enough”.

Why should I try harder to meet the expectations of people who’ve already made it clear that they’re not looking for a middle ground? I’ve stated what I consider to be the line, but your lot have made it clear that that’s not good enough. So I’m done trying to negotiate this. Nothing Israel does will ever satisfy you, so I’m not going to bother criticizing them any more. May they erase the memory of Amalek.

Yes. Please stop genociding. _Please stop the attempted genocide of the Jewish people by Hamas._
