1. I'm Jewish and went to a Zionist school for the first 14 years of my life. What's happening in Israel and Palestine has been really difficult for me to comprehend. I grew up indoctrinated by teachers who taught me Israel could do no wrong.

The reason you’re seeing tons of people only post blackout photos instead of leveraging actionable information is because it’s the easiest, most ambivalent form of activism that makes you feel like you’re doing something without requiring any sort of action at all.

2. I strongly condemn Israel's war crimes — and to say that is not antisemitic. By this logic, Israelis who don't support these atrocities would be considered antisemitic...which is ridiculous. Many Israelis DON'T support what's happening. And trust me, they're not antisemitic
