New introduction:
Hi. I lost hundreds of followers here after speaking my truth about what's happening as an Israeli with family directly affected by the massacre and kidnapping. People mainly gaslight me on the facts I live through, I barely functioned this past month bc of this. I'm an artist and a neurodivergent queer, here to connect with people who love music, film and crafts.
I want all to love and live in peace.
If you vibe with that let's chat more.

I am sorry to hear how people treat you, it is undeserved.

While I certainly am appaled by the actions of Israel (and the hamas) that in no way justifies you being mistreated for what side you are born into As long as you dont support what Israel (and palestine) is doing then there is nor eason you should be judged, its wrong.

Good luck to you. I hope people treat you better.

@freemo They *have* defended the IDF's actions, though. I don't want to get into this again, but all of my toots are public, so it should be pretty easy to find those discussions.

The issue isn't that they're Israeli. The issue is that they're defending what the Israeli government is currently doing in Gaza.

@chiraag Yeah. I’m one of the people who went too far voicing discontent for supporting IDF-s action. But while I find it wrong I kinda see the point to it now. It’s probably just trauma and belief that what IDF is doing is protecting them. I can’t really blame them for that feeling, even if I disagee with it. Calling other people gaslighters wasn’t okay though.

I am glad to hear you feel you went to far... Might i suggest, in light of that feeling, you apologize to her? It doesnt mean you have to agree with her (I dont either). But it might go a long way in letting you know you at least care.

@chiraag

@szczur

Good on you man. Its really hard for many to admit they acted inappropriately, especially when it comes to such an emotional topic.

You have my respect!

@chiraag

@freemo I mean, while I don’t really think my reasoning was bad I just was a giant ass.

@chiraag

@szczur

It sounds like I probably entierly agree with you based on your reasoning.. you can be logically in the right and still be very much the ass :)
