Quitting socials but is Israel Derangement Syndrome prevalent IRL?
I've been permitting myself some social media use because I mainly follow cats and Jews on Instagram. This was until last week when I saw a post about an app which enables you to photograph and identity local felines.
One reply to the post claimed the app was being used to harvest your data for Bibi's A.I. This was the final straw.
Now my problems are two-fold. First, the only pro Israel people I know are my mum and a minority of my family, and other assorted Jewish and gentile colleagues. Second, I will not be equipped with the evidence to disprove the swathes of misinformation. I'm probably not going to witness as much of it without social but people IRL tend to follow the same biased sources. And that's just the BBC.
I was pleasantly surprised recently when among a left wing gentile group, someone claimed to have seen footage of Israelis cheering the death of Palestinian civilians, and swiftly shut down by the rest of the group. But else there are people I know going mental about Palantir obviously because of tenous connections to Israel and perpetuating other hysterical theories. So I'm not sure many people are immune to this disease.
Are they?
