As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.

    I know there’s still bots and astroturfers out there, but shit, you really don’t see as much pro-Israel sentiment any more.

      It’s pretty hard to defend at this point. The closest you see is attacks on groups trying to speak against them now.

      Bluntly - step outside lemmy and you’ll see plenty.

      There’s little point for even trying to discuss it here - that died with the stickied post about the ICJ ruling and a mod who joined in rather than preventing hate speech.

        No. Pro-Israel sentiment has definitely lowered. Lots of people are still complaining about the increase of antisemitism. Which is true, bigots are using Israel as an excuse to be arseholes, not that that is anything new really.
