(1,244 posts)I posted that I didn't think that it was a coincidence that Hamas' attack occurred on Putin's birthday. I said that Hamas and Iran are known allies, as are Iran and Russia. I said that, in my opinion, the two sides are not Israel vs Palestine, but the authoritarians (Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, Hamas leadership, Iranian mullahs, etc. vs the civilians (Israeli and Palestinian). I said that it is known that Tiktok, and other social media, are easily controlled by authoritarians, q.v. Cambridge Analytica. I said that most of the protesters probably couldn't have found Gaza on a map of the Middle East and I asked where were these protesters when Saudi Arabia was using US weapons to commit atrocities in Yemen. I was roundly criticized here and I gave up posting about it.
