It's bewildering to go back there and see so much pro Zionist sentiment.
I recall in 2018 when those IDF soldiers were killing civilians and medics during the border protests. The reaction was totally different. Actual empathy for victims of war crimes and disgust for the perpetrators.
Now it seems when there's an equally or even more horrific war crime that happens to Palestinians, the response is always "welp they shouldn't have done october 7th", 178k upvotes, 3152 awards
I remember a Canadian redditer got shot in the leg by IDF snipers and his colleague who rescued him got killed same day.
At the time his personal account of the events was upvoted and people discussed stuff with him. He was a medic, with a post history about these cool 3D printed field tourniquets. He'd been shot when on duty.
If someone like that posted in Reddit's current iteration I think the response would be far more hostile.
