Why is everyone so black and white on this issue? Israel has a right to exist. Palestine has a right to exist. It shouldn’t be hard to understand.
You can’t ‘both sides’ an issue where one side is commiting genocide and settler colonialism and the other doesn’t have access to clean water and electricity. That shouldn’t really be that hard to understand either
Its is a ‘both sides’ issue when the Palestinian side has rejected every peace deal, commits terrorist attacks, and calls for the genocide of Jews. Nobody looks good in this conflict.
Yeah it’s so infuriating when people don’t acknowledge the very clear reality that if the shoe was on the other foot then the genocide would have happened long ago.
Also this isn’t just Palestine it’s very clearly a lot of fundamentalist terror groups and countries like Iran. There are very real and scary threats to Israel, Hamas gets huge funding and help from so many places - which they use almost exclusively to build combat tunnels and rockets.
It’s horrible for the Palestinian people but Israel isn’t the only one making their lives hard, Hamas isn’t about helping Palestinians it’s about hurting Jews and if their own people dying helps then they’re fine with it
