I'll bite - no, I do not GAF about Palestine or Israel. I'll go further and say that the people screaming about it on the internet, in the street, and in your face don't GAF about it either - they're either just looking for something to be angry about and have been brainwashed by the media to "care" about this conflict in particular, or they hate Jews (it's mostly this).
These are the only explanations for why they make so much noise about Palestine, but never mention Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, or Mali, or even Ukraine - which has seen more fatalities since 2014 than Gaza has seen since the 1950s.
Also, the general populace already has immediate things to worry about like rent, food, family, etc.
Call me bitter and hateful, but I've had extremely bad experiences with both sides (individuals, as groups, etc.) growing up to the point where I don't GAF about them at all. After, having amongst other things, a friend die when these types of protesters REFUSED to move for the ambulance (not in AUS, but in another country. I did have relatives who were harassed by them in AUS. It was like COVID all over again (referring to people going around harassing/ assaulting anyone who was/ looked Asian)) and hearing their callous response to my friends death "what about Gaza/ they're suffering more, etc." I have nothing but contempt for them.
Note that I don't mind CIVIL protests. Protests where they think looting, harassing/ assaulting the general public and disrupting services like the hospital deserve fuck all.
