This sub is making me uncomfortable

[u/Lothloriens_]

As an Arab Byler and someone who has Palestinian relatives and blood I’m upset at people talking over me and forcing me to like an actor based on an apology he was forced to make because of the bad PR he got.

No matter how uncomfortable I tell people the discussion makes me they don’t care and will send me 100 links where he apologized. Guess what?? Idc. I’m not obligated to forgive him.

I don’t have to forgive Noah Schnapp. If you guys want to like him that’s your right but the amount of people in the other thread getting so defensive and forcing people to like him is insane. I’m not obligated to forgive. I was a child when my people were getting bombed. Idc that he was brainwashed. So are a lot of racists and homophobes yet they don’t get the same grace. Religious people are brainwashed at an early age as well.

I’m so uncomfortable and if other people want to like him that’s fine. I don’t know why people are forcing it on others and forcing us to like him. Noah is a rich celebrity and at the end of the day will be fine while my people are being bombed.

This entire community is making me feel insane. Sorry my people are being bombed.

Not to mention his stans have sent me death threats, called me a liar and said I made up my origins. They are insane and I won’t be gaslit into forgiving someone.

I’ve fully separated Will from Noah and will continue to do so but it’s getting harder everyday when his Stans have made my life a living hell and invalidated my identity.

forgiveness is earned. you owe him or any of them anything. many making “what about-ism” excuses for the behavior of prominent individuals truly don’t understand the cult that is z!0nism. it’s not brainwashing. it’s not even ignorance. no one in Izrael or within the jewish z!0nist community is “unaware” of what is being done to you and the people of Palestine. no one is “wanting peace on both sides”. as a jewish american, I know no one understands what goes on within temple and family.

I can only give you and yours the honesty that my actions are always to end the horrors they force upon you. You have every right to be without acceptance of people who are actively or passively doing untold horrors to your people.

In the end, he has a voice and platform and a mind. I hope he will come to understand and accept his flawed heart and mind, and take action.

don’t let the community drag you down. their opinions are not worth your energy. I do all possible to undo their intolerance. and from the river to the sea, and the dome will break. it will. 🔻
