The prevailing attitude on Lemmy seems to be that Israel should be wiped from the face of the earth. Comments that don't support the protesters are quite rare.

I think I might still have some of these laying around somewhere. Good times.

It's good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than "stop supporting Israel". People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.
There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.
Lemmy users don't understand nuance. "Israel bad" is all they understand.
There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.
I'll believe it when I stop getting only rejection letters for entry level jobs.
The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.
When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…
When people are incapable of understanding nuance...
I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.
This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.
Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.
Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.
