Hmmm no. "crossfire" is not accurate. IDF is intentionally destroying innocent Palestinian lives.
Thanks for the comment. I long for the time where Israel built settlements in occupied territories unilaterally and didn't give a shit (along with the rest of the world). A glorious time... /s
And that's not going into the detail of the IDF's brutality against Palestinians.

I am not really surprised at this point when an older Jewish person is ardently supportive of Israel. It's a miracle I can get people like my dad (who is also Jewish and about Blum's age) to come around to a somewhat different perspective of the matter.
It's been super disappointing, and the lack of self-awareness has been jaw dropping. Destroying Alderaan was a sad and unfortunate, but necessary, step to root out the Rebellion, I guess?
The current genocide has exposed a lot of people. It's pretty sad. Cmon Steve. Not to mention a total ahistorical propagandized, borderline Islamophobic, view on the region as a whole.
Trust me I didn't want to believe it either being a big fan. I just sometimes want to stay ignorant and log off the internet but I can't.
anything more recent that this? Plenty of people changed their mind after really seeing the one sided killings
Considering he was in the white house on May 4th doing corny ass photos with Biden, no.
I mean that's literally the day after Hamas' terrorist attack.
This is from the day after the attack. Plenty of people had immediate emotional reactions to what happened, that doesn't mean they support Israel's response.
I honestly can't find anything else other than people online being mad at him and him openly supporting Biden which could also be just conservatives being mad at him and not people that actually support Palestine.
I think it's really important to note the difference between this tweet from Hamill -- which came literally the day after the Hamas attack -- and Tara Strong claiming that Muslims are trying to take over the world.
PhoenixAKG, it might be good to add some of what Tara was saying to the OP, to give context as to what Blum is defending:
He hasn't been vocal at all regarding Palestine. He posts constantly about Ukraine (rightfully), but hasn't said anything one way or another about the genocide in Palestine.
He was recently doing a lot of photo-op and campaign PR with Biden though, so he at least isnt largely opposed to how Biden is handling things regarding this.
So yeah, I don't know if you can say he's full on zionist or anything, but he has been disappointingly quiet on that topic.
Look at the date. It was the day after the Hamas terrorist attack.
Perhaps you should edit your post(s) given this is the day after the attacks in October.

I saw this earlier and this seems like an appropriate place. Really disappointing.
I mean, on the surface this makes sense to me. I see Likud and Hamas as two sides of the same coin. Civilians are caught in the middle. Netanyahu only cares about himself, not the future of his country (going by the protests in Tel Aviv, many Israelis also feel this way).
Disappointed to hear about Steve Blum. I'm so glad Chris Evans has pretty much left social media to go home and become a family man. I can still cling to something, sigh...
A expect he is learning and growing like a lot of people should. For the most part, the decades of oppression and apartheid Palestinians have lived under has been pretty much been ignored so with Palestinian emancipation finally being given air to breath I expect a lot of people will hopefully educate themselves. The more recent tweet by him is much improved.
Hmmm...
Seriously, this isn't new. I am tired of it, though.
I get Netanyahu has been trying to credit the grand mufti or whoever of giving Hitler the idea for the Holocaust, but it bears mentioning because it seems to occasionally be (and conveniently) forgotten that the Holocaust was a crime committed by Germany and is the culmination of centuries of European Christian antisemitism. Not Palestinians or Arabs.
And no, not even fucking Hamas, with all the war crimes they're guilty of, are the new Nazis. Those are still around in the West and are in fact slowly regaining popularity in Germany.
So you know, it's well past time for Westerners to get a grip.
But, last I checked Israel wasn't in Europe.

Fuck, I hadn't seen him completely dismiss that it's a genocide.
A lot of people will go right up to the point of agreeing with the actual definition of a genocide being what's being perpetrated but still balk at people using the term.
This is all pretty abhorrent and no one should be defending her with posts like this.I think it's really important to note the difference between this tweet from Hamill -- which came literally the day after the Hamas attack -- and Tara Strong claiming that Muslims are trying to take over the world.
PhoenixAKG, it might be good to add some of what Tara was saying to the OP, to give context as to what Blum is defending:
While I detect no lies in this.
These people rationalize every school and hospital bombing as being "Hamas bases," they probably rationalize the starving as Hamas members.
Steve Blum said:
Not shooting those human shields is a nice start, I would think.
I always want to reply to people who say this like, "So it's just sparkling ethnic cleansing!?"
Watching all this happen in real time is so depressing.
Now THIS is irredeemable dogshit. Even Islamophobes like Amy Schumer reigned in their extremism for the sake of their public perception and here is this guy who seemingly just came out of a cryosleep or came through a hole in space and has no idea what has been happening for months.
Blum also pulled the "you're an antisemite" card.
