It is a thing that's happening.

I don't have an Englrsh source, but here is an article about some of students in Haifa university that expressed support and cheered on the October 7th attack. They were suspended from the university.

Keep in mind they did this even before the Israeli army responded in any way and did anything in Gaza.

Cheering on the terrorist attach in October 7th that killed thousands of innocents is a call for violence against Israel.

Thank you for perfectly exemplifying what "no nuance" looks like

This article is important highlighting the repressive actions being done in Israel right now.

I want to highlight two things from the article:

cases of students who published words of praise for terrorism

people being summoned to police investigations or questioning simply for “liking” posts on social media — including an Arab teacher working in Tiberias who was suspended because she liked a post shared by the Instagram page Eye on Palestine

I wish the article would put some more emphasis in distinguishing legitimate criticism of Israel's actions on the one hand (which should be considerd protected speech), and incitement to violence and terrorism on the other (which should rightfully be persecuted and banned)

Israel is at war right now, and this causes Israeli instituations to drastically overextend their definition of what constitutes "incitement to violence" and "supporting terrorism".

We must be able understand the nuances and hold Israel accountable for quashing legitimate speech, while still understanding their duty to prevent incitement to violence, which inevitably leads to real violence.

These same criticisms and nuances should also be directed at Palestinian institutions.

Differntiate legitimate speech from incitement to violence

They're also doing more harm than good. This is an immensley complicated situation that requires nuance.

I'm one of the Israelis who frequently attended the anti-government protest.

I expect you not to support the Israeli government, but to support the Israeli people's right to defend ourselves from terrorists.

Regardless of whether Israel has a right wing or left wing government, we will not allow thousands of us to be massacred.

We won't stand by and twiddling our thumbs waiting for the next Hamas attack to kill more of us without responding with our full force.

None of this contradicts the fight to end the occupation. You can be anti-Hamas and anti-occupation at the same time.

Nuance is possible!

Can you please link the Al Jazeera source?

There are disadvantages to caffeine pills:

1. it's a pill and feels more medical and unnatural than drinking a bean soup
2. it's easy to accidentally overdose and cause serious damage to yourself

Thank you for sharing your story here

Can you please share a screenshot of how this looks like?

I use it exclusively for porn, honestly

Not many governments would have enough tech-savy people to even think of opening a Mastadon instance. Kudos NL and Germany!
