Do you root for people stealing stealing peoples land and killing people for decades?
Fuck off with your strawmanned whataboutism, terrorist symp.
Your petulant reaction is entirely appropriate for someone trying to defend the indefensible.
No.
But that in no way justifies killing a thousand or so people, injuring several thousand more, and kidnapping and threatening to execute hundreds (including children) in an orgy of violence. Both sides are in the wrong here.
You can support the Palestinians and their right to end occupation and not support Hamas. You can be an advocate of Palestinians' rights and not endorse Hezbollah or Iran's regime. You can be pro-Palestinian without being anti-semitic. You can support Ukraine's sovereignty and decry Israel's human rights abuses. You can condemn terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians and still believe in one's right to resist.
These stances are not mutually exclusive.
End the genocide of Palestinians.
I agree, this is the part I don't understand. Why do people want to force others to pick a side? They are both wrong and treat each other horribly. Cant we condemn both? Civilian death is completely unnecessary for both sides. Just lay down all the weapons and end apartheid.
The problem is you have two right wing governments that only know violence. The civilians are the victims.
I'll tin foil hat for a second. It really feels like there's a coordinated effort to push this as a really divisive event where you either completely support Israel or you're a monster. Is that actually happening? Probably not, but it sure does feel that way.
