I don't know where else to post this but I'll post it here. Before I start I want to make it clear that I stand with Palestine and their citizens and I want a ceasefire and for this to stop more than anything.

Does anyone else feel like the term "Zionist" is getting thrown out way too loosely? I'm seeing kids, and younger people being much more politically aware and active and that is amazing, however I feel like that is coming with a cost. I see these younger people labeling ANYONE who hasn't made a post or comment, or stands neutral with the situation a "Zionist" and to boycott all things associated with them.

For one, just saw a tik tok with over 300k likes calling Millie Bobbie brown a Zionist for mentioning in an interview what looks like 5 years ago that she wants to visit Israel one day… second, all over Twitter today is people calling the entire cast and crew of tlou show zionists (mainly Kaitlyn dever and the new Dina actress) because they posted a neutral stance and called for hostages on both sides to be released and stop killing innocent people. They are asking everyone to pirate and not watch the show and ask for it to be cancelled because of it. And third, I'm seeing people lash out on people not properly boycotting a bunch of brands like Starbucks and if they get a coffee they are now a Zionist and branded with that term.

Idk all of this just seems off to me and not the way to go about this. It's not all black and white here. Just cause someone doesn't want innocent people to die or buys a coffee or 5 years ago wanted to visit Israel DOES NOT mean they stand with the IDF and their mission.

And honestly I'm questioning my thoughts around myself thinking this thinking am I supposed to out / shun anyone who does these things or chooses to be neutral? Idk I just feel exhausted and idk if I just fall for rage bait too easily or these twitter and tik tok algorithms just get to me and provide me with the shit I'd question and want to comment on the most.


I don't want to comment on this further I don't think but I just wanted to type my words out somewhere.

We are finding out how some people really feel about the collective nation of (((Jewish))) people.

While it’s true that applies to many leftists, an overwhelming amount of it online is treating this nuanced and ancient religious and ethnic conflict like Kony 2012. Or any number of fashionable options to wear. That one week when people pretended to care about Hong Kong. I’m still boycotting Overwatch over that.
