I like how people who never even thought about Israel a year ago (let alone be here, talk with people from here),
suddenly think they know everything about inner politics, the war, the dynamics between the groups here, the army, the people, the Knesset.

Like, people please don't get over yourselves.
All you did was watch a stupid YouTube video, maybe read a popular Facebook post.
People actually live here, I'd suggest they know A LITTLE better.

Does learning Hebrew count? What about studying topographical and military maps? Lifelong interest in the Tanakh and Kabbalah? Conversion to?

It gives me some perspective about the Ukrainian Russian war, still ongoing.

While I don't side with Putin, I can acknowledge that I don't know the full history of the area. The means to the conflict, the origins of the war.

Come on, I too thought it was easy to simply see Putin as the evil and Ukraine as the innocent, hero, underdog.
But even if they really are,
what the fuck do I know?

Have I ever been to Ukraine?
Did I do more then consume online media about the war and assume it truth?

And same goes for all those oh so smart guys in blue pants (idk why blue pants), thinking they know just exactly what will solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict,
they know just right what's going through Netanyahu's head,
know like they've been living it,
how the Israeli people think and live their lives.

Now, I'm all in for receiving criticism. No one's perfect, everyone makes mistakes.

But God forbid, could you take a step back and take things in perspective?

Are there parents here?
Just imagine how you'd feel if a random creep on the street told you
"You're abusing your child! look how he's crying!"
while you with yourself know,
what he actually cries about.
could be a toy that he broke and is making a big deal, maybe he just fell on the ground.

What even is this stranger know??
all he saw is the parents after a hard day at work, impatient,
and their kid who just fell and that's all!

Well same can go here!
What the fuck do you, random creeps from the internet, know about the conflict?

And I don't care if you've been born to a Muslim or Jewish family somewhere away in the Americas.
doesn't make you a part of it. doesn't mean you know shit.

and yes, I'm gatekeeping the hell out of the conflict,
because shit got out of control with everyone thinking they just know it all!
