I hate Israel. I hate Palestine. I hate the discourse. I hate fucking EVERYTHING.
Being made to think about war every day for years on end is destroying my mental health. I can’t use a computer, watch TV, or go outside without it shoved down my throat. I can’t even go to sleep without having nightmares about it. I want off this fucking ride. I hate being alive so fucking much.
The only escape from something you cannot escape is to embrace it. The thing that degrades mental health is being unwillingly exposed. If the thing cannot be avoided, the only other move is to willingly expose yourself to it.
It’s not Palestinians’ fault for being occupied and mass murdered. How are you so shameless centering and victimizing yourself for being forced to hear about people suffering genocide? This shit is unbelievable.
Please see a mental health professional, or seek assistance if you are in acute crisis. If you google “mental health hotline” or “crisis hotline” you’ll find a number for your country you can reach out to.
Well then, log off your main acc and create one locked just to the good feelings parts of lemmy
You do have the option of taking a digital break. You must remember thst everyone has a limit, and once you push them hard enough they tend to push back
That must be nice, not having your life put in danger so you can feel depressed about hearing other people’s life being put in danger. Hope it lasts for you, but predictions for this century say war is going to become pretty rampant globally, so I’d recommend you find a way of coping with it better.
Not like you give a shit at all but hate crimes against my kind have skyrocketed in the past few months and I was assaulted by a stranger in public about two weeks ago so I don’t appreciate the implication that this doesn’t affect me personally
Palestine supporters are fairly unique in the fact that not caring or not having a position is unacceptable to them. You must care, you must share their viewpoint, nothing else is possible.
You didn’t see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.
I don’t think this is unique at all, it’s the core of all politics both left, right, authoritarian, liberal, etc. No matter what you believe, even if it’s nothing, there are always twice as many people against you than with you. It’s enough to make someone withdraw entirely.
You didn’t see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.
In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. There’s a difference. People don’t protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.
I assume they were alluding to the kidnapping, raping, beheading, etc perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas, done as a tactical move to draw a disproportionate response from the IDF in order to win the propaganda war.
And before that Israel so happened to be just ramping up settler violence and assaulting people in Jerusalem trying to get into Al-Aqsa mosque. Totally unrelated. /s

I’m gonna willingly expose myself to a bullet if I can’t get some rest without nightmares soon

Just take a break from social media that does wonders. This guy can testify for that
I wish someone would kick down my door and shoot me

I hope you are getting better soon.
Well, you could always try the new trend of extreme tourism in Gaza
Dude, most of us are on the other side of the world, living in countries that can do little more than send a sternly worded letter to Israel.
Being constantly reminded of that shitshow doesn’t help.
This is the most goated comment I’ve ever read in lemmy. Fucking based.
Holy shit. The Onion hits again.

This is the Memes community.
Shieeeeeeeet
Well I guess there really isn’t an escape

Few months! What a luxury.
Well, my people have been oppressed for over 2000 years, but I’m not counting that since I haven’t been alive for most of it.

Might have something to do with the fact that Russia was unprovoked. Which is very different than this conflict.
How?

I think they were just trying to draw attention to how it’s not nearly as one sided
