    He said, after shoving his uninformed opinion on Israel and it’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people down everyone’s throat…

    It’s okay to not be informed. Totally fine, if you don’t know about it, maybe just don’t take a definitive position on it? That’s a rational thing to do. Even more rational would be like “I don’t know enough about this, so, I need to educate myself”. Totally understandable…

    What’s pretty fucking stupid, no matter what the subject, is to go “I don’t know wtf is going on… but here’s my opinion endorsing one side of it”.

      The crux of the issue is in his head:

      Israel = Jewish and Jewish = Israel

      Same thing with Biden.

      Israel spent literal generations conflating the two and making people think they were the same. It shouldn’t be surprising when elderly people act like they’re the same.

      What’s important is making sure people that still have fully functional brains understand it’s bullshit. And use it as an example for how propaganda can effect people so we don’t fall for the same thing under a different topic.

      Yes but it’s not OK to have strong opinions on genocide while being uninformed about it.

      Edit:
      OK, I see you got there eventually.
