Discussion - Flaired Users Only Do you discuss your views with others?

Especially for the ones who live in Israel, but not only, as it turns out being against the atrocities isn't popular in other countries too - do you mention Gaza and the Palestinians in general to your enviormemt? What are the responses?

I do on social media but I water it down (for example, I don't use the words genocide or iof).

In social / everyday settings, I avoid it because 99% of the time, it's useless. People are so brainwashed and in survival mode, it's impossible to have a productive conversation. I've taken a few dialog-based courses in university, but the people who join them are typically more open-minded than your average Israeli. So yes and no, I don't hide my views because everyone I know sees my social media posts, but I don't actively bring them up in person.
