What are your thoughts on people being doxxed for ripping down missing israeli posters? (lemmy.world)

It's all over twitter lately, people getting recorded ripping down posters with a graphic about the missing Israeli children and then their real names are found and are quickly fired from their jobs.

Honestly -- and I before I say this, Free Palestine -- if you want to be a person who tears down a poster looking for a missing person, I think you should be prepared to live your life as a someone who everyone knows tears down posters of missing persons.

I find it interesting that you felt the need to explicitly say you support Palestine, even though your opinion isn't really controversial IMO.

This is not the first time I noticed this about a comment, it almost feels like people are afraid of being ostracized by "their side" for having a slightly "wrong" opinion about this conflict.

The Guardian has a good article about the tribalism going on right now (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/29/us-support-divided-israel-palestine-gaza-war).

Any empathy is seen as a betrayal right now. It’s imo also one of the reasons things are so terrible to begin with.
