Bart Wronski 🇺🇦🇵🇸BartWronski@mastodon.gamedev.placeDec 16, 2023, 12:16 AM@paulbiggar @Migueldeicaza yes, thank you for writing this up. I feel powerless and alone, and it helps with at least the latter part.
But why do I feel alone? In private conversations, 90% of colleagues agree. Because we feel intimidated to post anything on the topic. Nobody wants to be accused of antisemitism (even if definitely not true).
I tried not to post anything to not offend my close Israeli friend, I know he is suffering, but he stopped talking to me anyway, so whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is the phenomenon I see at a national level here, where I live. In private, many people are against whatever shit Israel is doing. Yet at the pro-palestine protests, there's a handful of people (and those are tracked and targeted by police, because that's how we roll).
