This is the entire point of the "it's complicated" line of hasbara/Western journalism. It is an intellectual off-ramp for further thought. And so many of us take it. It is a state-sanctioned excuse not to think at all. Because as soon as you actually do, the whole picture unravels
One of the highly specific problems of communicating in support of Palestine is that the general public has been so conditioned to accept that the issue is "complicated" that they will intuitively resist any attempt to understand how shallow the Zionist position really is.

Disturbing. Something that’s not talked about enough re AI chatbots - they can be manipulated at source. “Instructed to accept as real.” So anyone using them for information is also being manipulated. Thats a lot of power to wield.

Front Groups working with Zionist actors are promoting Islamophobia
Australian front groups have been working to promote the idea that the Greens make many cultural identities less safe. It's - loosely - part of a global Islamophobia industry.

“isms” are so wildly thrown about and rarely if ever now challenged as a way to shut down and delegitimise.
Appalling interview. Jillian Segal accuses The Greens of "extremism" and Adam Bandt of antisemitic comments, with no evidence.
Says the election was a rejection of extremism.
But is not referring to Dutton's dog-whistling, or commitment to breach international law.

The demonisation of the Greens in Australian politics is so infuriating, from the left and the right (and the mediocre Labor middle) Adam Bandt has been a very effective member and a good leader - all this chatter about “lack of policy” is I suspect from people who’ve never read Greens policies.
