I spoke to some palestinians but not really about the conflict. I never went to palestine. I did read several books on the conflict and have done my own research, but most of the story i recieved while in israel was from jewish israelis.

Im aware that there is bias here, obviously. Its just like anything else, you need to here both sides of the story.

So why arent yall on here willing to listen to israelis? There is a strong hivemind apparently on ktt about this issue

Its true that israel has always wanted to be seperate from palestine, and its also true that there is a strong sense of nationalism ane ethnosuperiority there, but palestinians are often similarly intolerant, dont you think?

Okay, I was genuinely asking btw

it’s just interesting that there is bias here and you acknowledge the bias as well

so maybe you shouldn’t speak so strongly on the situation.

you might think others are blind because of their lack of experience but you may also have the same blind spot you accuse them of having, that’s all

Would you be tolerant of a military force that has been hell bent on wiping you and your people out, destroying your history and culture, stealing your homes and land for almost 80 years?

Get real.

I dont really think im speaking that strongly. The only thing i really strongly think is that israel has a right to exist

Beyond that, im open minded

But that regarding the conflict is one of the strongest opinions you can have

I'm not really educated on the IDF thing but I feel like if Pharrell knew what he was donating to he wouldn't have done it

Feel like he's owed the benefit of the doubt on that one

Because i worked there in my masters degree and spent a lot of time learning the history of the region and the conflict - something i would guess most people who just learned about it in the last year havent done

I dont think its nearly as black and white as people want you to believe

I dont suppprt killing innocent people on any side though and of course the idf has done f***ed up s***. But both sides have

I saw literal children carrying automatic rifles in uniform on the street there. They get drafted at 18, its scary. But when you live in fear of rockets being sent over the boarder on a daily basis, it starts to make sense

No, i wouldnt like that. How would you feel about bombs and rockets being constantly sent across into civilian areas?

Like I said I'm not educated on it so I'm not trying to be insensitive at all, but I can't really think of Pharrell being involved in other shady things. It may be a management thing. Again, I could be wrong though. I feel like he deserves it just based off his track record imo. He doesn't seem like a bad guy
