The discourse around the Israel-Palestine thing has reached a very specific nadir.

I got harangued by strangers while I was out because my mobility scooter is an Israeli brand.

I get it. I do. But there aren’t that many alternatives for mobility aids that actually do what I need them to do. Please do not shout at me for using the scooter I’ve owned for ten years.

mobility scooter is an Israeli brand

I’m not getting involved in the Israel / Palestine conflict discussion but randoms having a go at you for the brand of your scooter is taking it too far and you shouldn’t have to deal with that at all.

What the fuck is wrong with people. Please, please next time run them over or beat them with your sticks.

These people are not following the teachings of the most famous and influential Palestinian in history.

That is appalling. Sorry you had to deal with that. I can’t even imagine the thought process.
