>Firstly, this thread is exactly about how I've felt racially scrutinized and suspect
I'm actually not talking about thoughts and feelings at all. I'm talking about domestic murders, deportations, and similar violence both from the state and from vigilantes.
>any pro-Israel opinion which is verboten in my neighborhood
This, and the massive shift against Israel among every demographic, is a result of a well publicized series of atrocities, a series that dwarfs the 725 civilians killed during the Gazan military's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood operation in both scope and cruelty.
>Extra points for simultaneously taking away the agency of all Arabs everywhere.
It's not a matter of agency, it's a matter of power. They still have agency, and the power structure I am talking about isn't contingent; it's categorical given its racialized nature.
>You seem to understand them so well.
I do, yes.
>Tell us what they all think.
None of my categorical statements have concerned the subjectivity of Arabs, only the objective contingencies with which they are presented. Plenty of them have chosen not to hide their opinions, and they are currently being tracked and rounded up in the US as a consequence.
