This was talked about briefly in October but it’s still flying under the radar imo. The Oct 7th attack took place on these very left leaning pacifist communties who believed in peace and liked to work with the Palestinians and their cause, more than most Israelis.
Many of the kibbutzniks who experienced October 7 can’t bear to hear Arabic and want to see Gaza erased.
The trauma is stronger than their worldview
I was wondering if it might push those with that pacifist/hippy outlook on life to change and it appears it has.
When even the hippies are yearning for scorched earth tactics it doesn’t bode well for winding down of military operations anytime soon. It also makes me think we’re far more likely to see more serious military action roll into Lebanon within a few months.
TL:DR RIP peace. We never knew ye.
Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.
