Conflict in the Middle East

Not reposting on social media

I received an out of the blue text from a good friend, which pretty much said, she is not sure of where I stand on the Palestine -
Israel conflict because I have not posted or interacted with any of the pro-Palestine posts. Yet have posted a picture in this time.
I'm a bit baffled by this to be honest. I rarely post on social media, maximum around 4 pictures a year. The most recent was a birthday dinner and this was deemed insensitive by my friend, who seem to think the world should revolve around this? Yes I understand children are dying but that doesn't stop the rest of the world carrying on with their lives? I barely know what day of the week it is with my busy life let alone have time to repost stuff on social media! I have around 100 followers, no one interacts with me so I'm not sure from me posting what this would gain? I'm just super confused what to reply to this & if she is being unreasonable to pick on this with me.

Tell her to mind her own business. You have no obligation to post anything on social media.

How odd. Many people use FB for cat memes and family connections not politics.

I do use it for political stuff but even I've been very careful because I have a diverse set of friends who approach things differently and I don't want to traumatise anyone.

Tell her you don't use it that way.
