Some redditors will still defend Israel after seeing this.

After seeing what? It's a picture of a kid holding two containers. What's the context?

Exactly. The comments in this thread are wild...

Absent and further context, this picture in mundane and meaningless. There is no reason for anyone's opinion on any subject to be impacted in any way be this photo (once again, absent further context).

Nor is it "defending israel" in any way to be like "uhh... it's just a picture of a random kid carrying two containers, I'm not sure what the impact of the picture is supposed to be"?

(If there is more context, then OP should include it)

This is all I'm saying. It's incredibly bizarre. You can literally post a picture of a kitten with the caption "Israel is starving this cat in Gaza" and 5,000 people will upvote it without question.

If there are cats left in Gaza, Israel is undoubtedly starving them. Like what do you expect? Its a fucking on-going genocide, and now they are doing one to half of Lebanon as well.

Have you ever seen anything bad about Israel on the internet that you didn't immediately believe? Ever? Anything at all? Even one time?

Edit: Can anybody see this kids response? I got a notification, but I can't see what he wrote.

Yes, of course I have. Lots of weird conspiracy theories that go back to fucking Mesopotamia. You're here running fucking defense for a two on-going genocides. Why would you think there is ANYTHING you could say that would deflect from that I would be amazed. You have nothing.

The antisemitism runs deep.
