This issue strikes a raw nerve in the west because you have leftists and rightists on both sides of the issue. On the left you have the people opposed to anything that can be seen as antisemitism vs the people who want to stick up for poor oppressed palestinians. On the right, you have the typical "fuck the juice" people vs the "fuck the mudslimes" people, with a slight smattering of the "Stick up for teh israelis becuz teh buybull says so!" people that everyone else laughs at behind their back.
Kiwi Farms has representatives from all these factions here, so this thread is a fucking dumpster fire.
