The (white) grifters who pretend to care about Palestine cut their teeth on propaganda and disinformation during the war in Syria, defending Bashar Al Assad as a resistance hero (barf) while I studied photos of people his government tortured to death, by the thousands.
if you were very recently defending Putin in Russia and dismissing a sea of reports of atrocities against Ukrainian civilians as propaganda, forgive me if I doubt that your commitment to protecting civilians is truly genuine
there’s also the bullshit “well you just care about Ukrainians because they’re whiny blonde people palatable to Americans and Europeans” argument they try to trot out, as if that applies to Syrians
