Some of the takes that I've seen on this are bizarre.
You can hate that Hamas has murdered innocent civilians, and you can ALSO hate that Israel has murdered innocent civilians.
Some of us are just genuinely disgusted by the sheer amount of innocent people dying. It's terrible, and nothing anyone says will ever make me believe that those innocent people deserved to die like that. Some of them only have the "crime" of being born there.
I'm not from the US, but it irks me to see so many people calling anyone from there a hypocrite for being upset over it, solely because of the United States' previous involvement. Many of the people commenting are probably not the same people who wanted to join the war back then. Many of the people commenting may have not been old enough to vote for the government at the time. Millions of people are not one single homogeneous life form. Every person has their own mix of thoughts, feelings, experiences, emotions, hopes, and dreams. These things help fuel how they see the world around them. No two peoples stories are exactly alike.
As a USA citizen we suffer from a culture of "blind patriotism and stupidity." A lot of people believe anything the USA did in the past is right because the USA did it. A lot of people believe all other nations are inferior, living in the USA it is very easy to be isolated from other nations. I personally find it easy to write nonsense on Lemmy from the safety of my couch.
