I never conflated a pro-hamas movement with an anti-israel one.

If there are leftists or vulnerable minorities who have become indoctrinated into pro-hamas rhetoric, yes, I clearly think tik tok is responsible because these kids certainly aren't reading it on on storm front.

I am not interested in having a conversation where you pretend I am talking about the pro Palestine/anti Israeli government movements.

My dude. No leftist is pro Hamas. Hamas wants to create a religious ethnostate just like Israel wants to create a religious ethnostate. We ARE pro Palestinian freedom. But Israel is the one who keeps making Hamas the dominant Palestinian political party, in order to use them as an excuse to continue their genocide.

Stop pretending to know what the left thinks when you’ve clearly never actually spoken to their members.

If something a person says that wasn't personally directed at you doesn't actually apply to you, they probably weren't talking about you.

Sure and my racist uncle's joke about drowning a random person totally isn't just his black guy joke barely concealed.

The narrative has for months been that anyone who is critical of Israel is Pro Hamas. And now you want us to believe that's changed when someone is defending the most breathtakingly xenophobic bill in modern times?

Lmao. No.

You aren't talking to a narrative, but rather a human being. You understand that, yes?
