    God I remember being a teenager and watching a little h3h3 from time to time, they never were a favorite but they were popular and decently entertaining. I was so barely aware of Palestine that I just wouldn’t have put the pieces together that Ethan and Hila weren’t a simple international couple — something I considered sweet — but that Hila was rather a damned war criminal participating in 19th century settler-colonialism in the 21st century.

    Every day I feel more and more revolted by all the things I didn’t notice or didn’t pay attention to back then, and I feel more and more disappointed in the naïveté I had about so-called “Israelis” for so long.
