It is good for evil people who desire evil things to be upset by your words and deeds.
British comedian Dawn French was successfully pressured into publicly apologizing for a video she made in opposition to the Gaza holocaust after Israel supporters made a stink claiming she was insensitive to Israel about October 7.
I can’t believe it’s 2025 and people are still worried about offending Zionists. Oh gosh I’d better issue an apology, I’ve upset the people who are cheerleading an active genocide.

There’s no actual basis for the pro-genocide position in truth, logic, or morality. It’s a completely indefensible position, so self-evidently wrong that a child could recognize it at a glance. ...
Seems like a lot of western Jews don’t understand that in the eyes of the average westerner they’re literally just white people. The Jewish people we run into in the west look, speak and act pretty much the same as any other pale-skinned individual in western society, so they’re not othered in the way some races and cultures are. Being Jewish isn’t typically seen as any more remarkable or exotic than being Episcopalian.
