I have noticed it on youtube, legacy media, and especially reddit. I see almost no content anymore, especially the anti-israeli stuff, the stuff "exposing" their "war crimes", etc.
Some of the threads on Reddit I liked to peruse seem to be filled with stories about Israel all the time. GreenAndPleasant, a supposedly British thread, you look at the main page and I can see several Israel related things. Which is ridiculous because in the UK we have
loads of political things that need our attention more. The entire thread seems to have been co-opted by a particular political bent of people.
Man, this is only going to make the Islamic countries hate the west even more... it's only going to cause more wars, more terrorism, etc..
No matter what you think of the Palestinians and/or what has been happening, you don't just poke the bear. That's plain stupid. You deal with the bear carefully until and if you are ready to move decisively. Antagonism and bluster work short term. If there is a terrorist attack on US soil, you can blame Trump.
But all this is predicated on the notion that we're dealing on equal footing here, that our cultures and mindsets are equivalent, when they're clearly not. Yes, the West should not have dicked around in the ME, I'll be the first to lay out those crimes and that is a fucking disgrace without question, but the Germans (or inter-European relations) don't begrudge each other for what happened during WW2.. they are not seeking revenge and attacking innocent people for it.. in fact we are neurotic about doing all we can to avoid conflict these days, which is part of the issue with the Islamic thing; there's a blind spot in a lot of people regarding Islam, they
want to see it on equal footing when perhaps it is not deserving of that.
Look at what happened after the Southport attack last Summer in the UK. We had loads of Muslims, most likely of Pakistani origin, roaming the streets with weapons - what a disaster that would have been if guns were legal - looking for what, exactly? That is the issue, the divergence in cultural mindset. These people are
guests in this country, we just suffered a horrendous barbaric attack on children, which the British public were rightly outraged about , and what do these Muslims think is the most appropriate response? To make it about them, to brandish fucking weapons, instead of saying "Shit, that's terrible. You know what, maybe we should do a bit more to root out the issues in our communities, ask questions of why this seems to happen so much", etc.
With the Palestinians you're talking about a culture that for decades has been inverted. Half of the fault lies with the tension between them and the Israeli's, the other half is their own doing due to inherent religious and cultural patterns. We can look to any number of European countries now and point to clear evidence of what will happen if these people go elsewhere, they will simply bring all their problems with them, do nothing to change, and just try to inflict their cultural pattern on the host nation.
Sweden has had 1 explosion every single day in January. That is
nuts. Grenade attacks, shootings, etc. Literally the most peaceful nation on Earth, invited a bunch of these culturally incompatible people in, gave them
everything, and it did not work. The same with the UK. The amount of free money and handouts these people get is ridiculous, and have they used it to prosper and grow? Nope.
