I'm terrible at geography, and specifically picked classes in high school to avoid taking a geography class, instead taking psychology and sociology to cover my "social studies" credits. As a result, I never knew Israel was specifically a Jewish country until this whole genocide kicked off. I knew a lot of Jewish people lived there, but I thought it was like how a lot of Christians live in the southern US - the population might be a majority of one religion, but the country is still neutral, at least in theory.
When I speak out against Israel people will often accuse me of being antisemitic, and I can't help but chuckle when that happens since I didn't even know Israel was Jewish when I first started denouncing their genocide. I don't give a shit what religion someone wants to follow, just don't kill innocent civilians...
