One example of why the peace deals between 🇮🇱 🇦🇪 🇧🇭 matter so much can be seen in the outpouring of solidarity from Gulf states after Meron tragedy compared to the awful tweets celebrating the deaths from pro-Hezbollah and other regional voices. Normalization and coexistence
The importance of seeing the other as a person through humanization is so important for the region. One reason you can see that the “resistance” or “armed struggle” was never about just borders or politics but rather genocidal can be seen in those supporting harm to innocent
It can take a generation or more educate toward tolerance snd seeing others as equals and as people; but you have to begin somewhere. The vile comments from many social media accounts with thousands of followers after last night’s tragedy, including hashtags and hate are awful
The mixing of hatred of Israel, hatred of “Zionists” and even religious celebrations on social media after the tragedy show how much work must be done.
Ons thing that could help is if social media giants stopped the hashtags and went after tweets that incite and if human rights giants would call this incitement and hate for what it is.
