    Anti-war people wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to live in a war zone?

    What’s even the argument here

      The point is to strawman their argument because she can’t actually argue against it.

      I bet she wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to get raped and carry the baby to term! How hypocritical! /s

    “You claim to care about X but you don’t participate in X, curious…”

    Once again showing how empathy is a completely foreign concept to them

    I really don’t understand what point she even thought she was making?? Of course they wouldn’t, it’s an active conflict area, and that conflict is what has people worked up…

      She is being racist

      She has a very poor understanding of what’s happening in Gaza, and replaces the yawning chasm that is her factual understanding with a dim stereotype view that it’s a bad place because the Palestinians are terrible people who don’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps

    Damn. So I can’t care about the well-being of a region or people without actively pursuing living there / with them? Bummer.

    It’s almost like normal human beings can sympathize with people being genocided and oppose genocide even when the cultural norms are fucked.

    She’s right that I don’t want to go to Gaza. But the question is WHY don’t I want to go to Gaza? Hint: it’s something that’s been in the news recently.
