You….really need to expand on what you’ve said because right now you sound like a fucking monster.

I do not trust the anti-Israel sympathies, or should I say "Pro-Palestine" sympathies, of most people who are not directly involved in these places. They do not seem genuine to me. I'm sorry if that makes me sound like a monster. I've read Finkelstein and plenty of Chomsky, too. I think Norm is a monster for telling Israelis they should leave, and I think he is making things far worse for Palestinians. There is something very self-serving about the majority of Israeli sentiment I sense from my own political side of the aisle.

I doubt this will be a popular opinion here, and I don't think there's much to be gained from having to explain why I feel this way.

I agree with you that I have never been to Gaza. I have, however seen plenty of videos of literal hospitals and elementary schools and food lines being bombed and shot at. How can that possibly be dismissed?

I find Chomsky grotesque in his campism, but to my knowledge Chomsky has only ever called for the settlements in Palestinian territory which are illegal by international law to be abandoned.
