And don’t tell me that anti-zionism is not the same as anti-semetism. Bullshit.

Bullshit when you got people yelling “gas the Jews” and anti Jewish hate crime has skyrocketed in western countries.

I like to read a lot and listen to podcasts to stay knowledgeable about current events. The latest topic I researched in depth was the Israel Hamas conflict.

Prior to all of this I honestly had no opinion on the matter. Other people I know definitely did but I just tuned them out when they brought it up. If asked I would honestly say “the Middle East is complicated so I don’t have a position on that.” I am also friends with Jews and Muslims. It’s not fun to lose out friends over political opinions but that unfortunately is very common nowadays.

With that said I will never change my viewpoints just to please people. I might change the subject but I won’t agree with people just to make them happy if I believe otherwise.

This includes women. I have seen guys put on fronts and/or change their core values in hopes of being rewarded romantically/sexually for agreeing with a woman’s political ideology. But that will never be me. Sure that narrows down my options but I stand with my POV unless somebody can logically and factually prove me wrong.

With all that said I regret getting more educated about the Israel Hamas war conflict. The facts have demonstrated to me that while one side is imperfect the other side is pure evil. There just isn’t any other way around it. Now I can no longer honestly claim ignorance about the issue.

Anyway I intentionally didn’t say which side I support on this conflict. Reason being that this isn’t a question about politics. But I had to use that as an example.

So my question again: have you ever regretted learning the truth about something? Being at naive at times just seems an easier way to go. Obviously that’s fools logic but maybe not always.
