   Choose carefully what you support. You'll have to live with that choice. 😑 #GazaGenocide #Netanyahu

     @SirHendrick I’m choosing to support any citizens on either side that don’t support #Hamas, and to denounce these wtracks by the starts of #Palestine that have endangered the lives of booth Israelis and Palestinians.

     It’s not hard to get it right.

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick what is someone "coping" with if they are skeptical of media reports of goings on halfway around the world?

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick coping with what. Like what is it that a person is struggling to accept that they need to construct a false explanation? All I personally know about $current_thing is what I see on here. The first videos of the hang gliders were top tier productions. I was pretty surprised to see something that literally could have been at the beginning of an action movie to inform the world that Israel is going to war. As a person who just doesn't want to spend money on foreign shit when our country is falling apart at the seams, what is it that I would need to cope with if I said I think there is an element of artificiality to the whole thing? I'm not saying that but what would I be trying to hide from myself if I did (primary use for copium)? I don't have any personal investment in either side. Everyone involved is mired in deceit not just from this event but historically.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick I mean if you’re coping to the degree that you’re doubtful as to whether or not #Hamas terrorists did heinous things to the people of #Israel, you gotta be the highest in the room, if not on another level of cope.

     But, to be fair, if you think terrorism can be justified or if people should side with terrorists in some instances, that’s a moral issue, and might not necessarily be a cope.

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick also "terrorism" is a loaded term. Western governments commit terrorism both in our countries and abroad, but because they are the good guys it's ok. I don't see Hama's releasing bioweapons on the entire world's population, and then trying to force the cure which may be even more deadly.

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick > one of these sides is beheading children
     
     at least that's what the media is saying. Could be real. could be fake. Hamas could be attacking civilian populated areas and the beheaded children still be a lie. I don't know. I just think we hear this (or some variation) every time $badguy attacks $ally.
     
     Terrorism is specifically using fear tactics for political motives. Committing violence during a war is not terrorism, even if it's vile.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick That is a fair point. One must admit though, that only one of these sides is beheading children and setting them on fire, and it’s not #Israel.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick Coping with the attack. There are people who supported the #FreePalestine movement far before the #Hamas attack that are struggling to come to terms with their attack on the civilians, even over a week after it happened. It’s sad to see.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick We’ll see the thing is though, even putting the beheaded babies claim to the side (to be fair it’s disputed), the tactics #Hamas is using are specifically to incite terror. While it’s sparked a war, I’m not sure if one could call it standard war tactics or behavior.

     @Pantangelini @SirHendrick @realcaseyrollins I mean civilians are harmed when war comes to their village or town or city or whatever. Sure some might have had ample notice that war was coming, but if they aren't inciting either side and just want to live their lives or raise their kids or what have you, I would say they are being dragged into someone else's fight or caught in the middle.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick I know enough about what #Hamas did in this instance that I don’t need to understand what happened before in order to root for the other side. Now the conflict between #Israel and #Palestine, conversely, is something I’ve always wanted to have an informed opinion on. I have always supported #Israel’s sovereignty but not their government in all cases, but I have not completed the research I’ve been planning on doing.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick I don’t think it’s helpful to distrust the media so much that you don’t believe that anything is going on at all. It’s possible to know what happened without being there, but I also understand that these acts from #Hamas are pretty heinous things to accept.

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick what is wrong with the Jefferson Bible? From what I have read he didn't alter content merely an attempt to distill what he thought were the most precious lessons from the new testament. The New Testament itself is a distillation of contemporary writings to capture what the curators thought was most important (not dismissing it's significance).

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick what if your "accepted sources" share sources (so really your information is coming from one source) or they have independent faulty upstream sources. I think too many people use "know" in place of "believe" too often.

     @thatguyoverthere @SirHendrick Essentially, accept two sources for something (at least) before believing it, but it is okay to accept one source if other sources have been known to lie about such things before. That’s the principle I go by.

     @realcaseyrollins @SirHendrick I'm not refuting that there is conflict in the region, I'm just saying I don't know of any sources I trust to relay the details. Everyone with direct access to "original sources" has an agenda, and everyone else has to rely on information from them.
     
     Also, and perhaps more importantly to me, this has nothing to do with me. I have plenty of things going on in my own life I don't have time to let a fight in the desert on the other side of the planet consume too much of my time. That includes taking the time to try and verify information coming in. Showing support for one side or the other doesn't change when the chickens wake up or when my dog wants to go out. It doesn't change my need to shit every day or the fact that I have to mine fiat to pay the tax man. My empathy helps no one. It's just extra mental stress people willingly take on with no measurable benefit as far as I can tell.
