      The star of David does though.

      If you don’t keep up with israel crimes you should

      To be blunt trying to keep up with all the darkest most fucked up things Israel is doing seems like a really good way to guarantee I have no emotional energy to go outside and actually be involved in meaningful shit that might make anything in the world better, which I already struggle with after spending all my emotional energy on basic functioning and coming up short

      I do my best to follow things, but I’m not going to devote all my time to trying to know all the most horrific atrocities that are happening; that is a deeply unhealthy and likely counterproductive way to attend to wrongs that are happening. You must take care of yourself if you actually want to have the bandwidth to do any real meaningful political labor.

          Yes, I agree, it has always been Zionist strategy to intentionally muddy the water and conflate Zionism with Judaism as a smokescreen against criticism
