If the prerequisite for venturing an opinion on Gaza was being able to point to it on a map?
Social Media would fall permanently mute.

Permanently mute? Hardly even a delay!
The prequisite is knowing, or being *willing to learn* the first thing about it rather than spouting off your gut emotional reaction as fact and making it clear if you’ll suffer a second “opinion” to be spoken by anyone (including factual correction) you will die on that hill before listening to a word of it. Where it is on a map is the geopolitical equivalent of “what number comes after 2″ when dramatically questioning someone’s math. But of course, irony and language are dead especially with the “take a joke, bro” crowd when their bullshit gets them in trouble.
Even if someone didn't know where Gaza was... why would knowing exactly where a place is be a requirement for wanting a stop to horrible human rights violations, terrorism, and violent conflict?
What, would you go "Yeah, I heard about that quadruple homicide 1357 Jones St... but I don't know that area of town so couldn't tell you where it is. So fuck them, I don't care the entire family got killed." If someone died in your city?
Now, I'm assuming this idiot means "Hah, these darn libruls are sooooo stupid, they can't have am educated response to Gaza, they can't even find it on a MAP!" But not only is that rarely the case, again, why would it matter? If a country I've never heard of made headlines because the regime in charge decided that Vlad Tepes was a bitch and decided to genocide a cool couple million of their country's oppressed minority and make a massive field of corpses on stakes... I wouldn't need point to it on a map first before going "Fuck that is atrocious!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
