    He is accidently right. There should not be a narrative in the first place.

    But people eat up Israel and Hamas propaganda like crazy.

    And what gets lost is an actually nuanced discussion where people can criticise Israel’s actions without questioning if the country has a right to exist and defend itself in the frist place and being grouped with antisemites amplifying the same message but for the completely wrong reasons. And where people can criticise Hamas without instantly being in the same camp with those supporting genocidal actions against Palestinian civilians.

    Thanks to social media this has instead devolved into a brain-dead team sport only build on narratives. With facts and common sense being lost and one side pushing narratives helping the other to do the same, when there is no actual right side, only degrees of wrong.
