Veterans of these interactions share how to get through it.
Amal, a 30-year-old young professional living in Brooklyn, says she usually hates social media, and posting anything about her personal life gives her anxiety. But after the latest spike in violence in Israel and Palestine, she began posting again, and posting often.
She got some pretty immediate feedback on her posts from a friend she made years ago, an Israeli national. “A lot of ‘empathy’ here, except absolutely zero empathy for 1300 Jews who got butchered in their homes completely randomly,” one comment said. “Doesn’t matter what we do, Jews are the devil. Thanks for clarifying,” said another.
Or at least, she tried to do that. After a few days of this, and feeling like the entire friendship was derailed, she quietly unfollowed him and cut ties.This kind of tension—and these kinds of difficulties within friendships between people who have very different perspectives on the conflict—has been combusting over the course of the past two weeks. People I’ve talked with on either side of this conflict have told me they feel particularly sensitive right now.
