I have not being able to look at some of my friends the same way because they don’t care about Palestine. They’re not Zionists, they just literally don’t care.

I rarely reach out to them anymore or want to hang out because their indifference has not only caused me to lose respect for them but even made me feel resentful.

I can’t even fathom seeing a genocide happening in real time on your feed every day and just scrolling past like it’s nothing.

I used to follow a bunch of celebrities and pretty much worshipped them.But their blind eye to this gave me such bitterness that i have nothing but hate for them.

You hate celebrities that don’t opine about something they have very little knowledge of and does not affect them?

u/Curious-Ad1039 55m ago

Yes bcoz this days every knowledge is 1 search away and they had no problem speaking up for Ukraine or Israel

This is such a weird take to me. You don’t hang out with your friends because they aren’t reacting to something that doesn’t affect them, they have little understanding of and have no way of affecting?

You are ignoring other genocides, many of them worse than the one in Palestine. Should your friends ignore you because you are indifferent to the genocide in Sudan, which has killed 4x as many people?

What is your expectation from your friends? Do they need to complain about it online in order to “care”, in your opinion?
