I Used To Say Israel Was Not Committing A Genocide In Gaza: I was Wrong. This is why. (Shaiel Ben-Ephraim | The Grand Scheme, 2025-05-01)

“It gives me no pleasure to accuse my country, my friends, and my family of being part of a genocide. I spent months arguing against this. Early in the war, I said that those who accuse Israel of genocide are acting in bad faith and spreading a blood libel. I was right about some of these malevolent actors. But my conclusions were wrong. The seeds of genocide were sown early on. Then Israel escalated its acts against the Palestinian people to a point where I could not stay silent.

One part of me is like: awesome, welcome. We need more people like this getting hit over the head with reality and popped out of their bubble.

The other part of me is like: holy shit it took you this long?

It's kind of sad that there are so many liberal Zionist that are still struggling with reality while the unapologetic Zionist slap them over the face with their intentions of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Is this just trying to save face at this point? I want to believe these people actually have good intentions beyond their own self interest. But I'm so fucking tired of this shit man.

Who is this creep? It's been 100+ years of genocide. Nobody should care about this belated privileged awakening.
