    My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post’s purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter’s community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won’t treat community notes as reliable.

    However,

    You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.

    It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.

    That’s how Poe’s law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don’t take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.

    I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.

    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!
