Hamas has begun cracking down on Gazans who participated in recent protests against the group’s rule, executing six people and publicly beating others, according to Palestinian activists and residents.

    So don’t mix two distinct conflicts in one paragraph Sorry to come across condescending, but you can hate/disapprove Israeli politics and their followers as much as you can hate/disapprove hamas and their followers.

          i was going to ask how i can better phrase what i’m trying to say. because who i’m trying to speak to are people who think pro-hamas and pro-Palestine are the same thing because they think of everything in terms of binaries when everything is far more nuanced than that, but in doing so i seemingly gave the impression that i myself see this as a binary.

          how can i make my messaging stronger?

            You said it just fine. Your messaging is great. Tic tok has really changed the messaging on what pro-palestine is. Like most social media the conflict was high jacked for attention and now there’s a lot of loud voices dishing out bad narratives. Most people support the people of palestine to some degree. I find the tic tok crowd has made the cause more toxic than it needs to be.

            This is the most toxic political issue for the last 40 years or so. It’s being amplified even more and to no surprise, people have only become more divided when attempting discorse on social media.

            My personal stance is to defund isreal of weapons money, refund the aid to palestine, protect palestines promised borders through economic means. I consider that a balanced take, although many would call me a genocidal zionist and wish me dead.

      Shame a nuanced take is being down-voted.
