    Being pro-Palestine is so trendy at the moment that some people will unthinkingly parrot any rhetoric that criticises Israel, even if it’s horrific anti-semitic remarks like these.

      I think a big part of this story is the Streisand effect. A lot of people are talking about the letter itself, whether it should be accessible for academic reasons, the propaganda aspect, why it was effective back then, etc.

      I’m sure there are also people supporting it, both kids being edgy and people being awful. The part that’s cloudy is how many are doing that, and how many are talking about the situation itself
