Isaac 🌹🏳️🌈 @isaacng.bsky.social · 56mI will admit: Oct. 7 was inevitable. You can't genocide a people for 70+ yrs without expecting extremism on their side. It's still an atrocious act committed by evil people. You don't have to deny that to believe that Israel is committing genocide, and that Zionism (in its current form) is racism. 000
