You are being gracious and kind here: "but it also exposes the reality that certain individuals feel entitled to dictate to the black community how we should view certain issues." after October 8 and the USA obeying Israel and funding their Gaza genocide I would call their behavior creepily paternalistic. #TimeOutForSelfProclaimedFatherFigures; that's what got Palestine and Israel into this mess beginning with UK and USA meddling ( Balfour Declaration and post WWII arrogance) then going safely back across the Atlantic and Europe so each would not have to live and or die with the day-to-day consequences of their actions. In 2023, the "kids" in Palestine/ Israel, especially, are not okay, one too many have died and or are dying, and too many are quietly "giving up".
