    The article itself talks about how much difficulty they are having, though.

      Wow yeah, if you divorce everything from context and just say that they’re having “difficulty” then yes, that is true, because it means essentially nothing. But you want to conflate the difficulty they’re actually having (living in a place with violent religious bigots) with leftists not talking enough about how bigoted Palestine is. That is not what’s causing them difficulties.

      The comments writing off entire regions of the world as bigoted (including the southern US!) don’t help anyone there, and it’s little more than a thought terminating cliche.
