I have to wonder how much of these are cherry picked. I don't know a single pro palestine person who is also a nazi. I think a lot of the "pro palestinian rights = nazi" stuff is really forced and not representative of even .1% of pro palestine people. I mean there was that one huge story of some people at a pro palestine rally with a nazi flag and it turned out to have been photo-shopped

People are saying it even on Lemmy. I almost would prefer to believe it's people astroturfing absurd positions to hurt Palestine... But I suspect not.
JIDF is a real thing. As is act.Il.
There are absolutely paid commenters posting extremely biased comments across all of social media
And vaccines cause autism right?
Don’t be ridiculous. Of course not.

Implying as such is simply trying to discredit reality.
Was just checking how thick your tinfoil hat is.
lol hexbear people are not serious and don't deserve your attention.
They are serious, and there are a lot of Lemmy.world people with that mindset as well.
Not even beginning about lemmygrad...
Idk about you. Some people are begging for an excuse to be anti Palestinian. they’ll stretch their rationale based on just a few people who they can use to support genociding brown people
I mean in against theocratic Muslim countries in general because they would kill me for my sexuality... So i personally don't need any more reason (yet they provide a lot more...)
So genocide is good then. Got it.
What? Being against Islamic theocratic countrys doesn't equal genocide...
