    I am not making excuses for Israel's genocide.
    You're right.
    Obviously, Israel is more evil and Israel has more control over this situation.
    But they're both evil.
    All I'm saying is that it is stupid to support the least evil side.
    Fuck them both, really.
    The situation will not be resolved until leadership on *both sides* changes.
    So, yeah, if you don't mind, I am going to "both sides" this.

      You are making excuses because you have vacuumed out all the nuance to this. You are ignoring the third party in this situation which are the Palestinians, the victims in all this. You say Israel is more evil, and that Israel has more power here, and you still relinquish their control and influence of this situation. You are effectively saying, “hey, as long as both sides don’t change leaders keep doing what you are doing!” This can’t be said and done when Israel is actively committing a genocide.

      I’ve shown you already how easy it is to condemn both sides but hold enough poise and nuance to understand supporting the Palestinians has nothing to do with supporting Hamas. I’ve explained the reasons why this situation has occurred. Let me emphasize again:

      A genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide is occurring in Palestine.* Once again for those in the back, a genocide is occurring in Palestine. A genocide purported by Israel, a genocide in which they have all control and power in stopping.

        You make a lot of assumptions about my position. You don’t seem to care what I think. I ask you questions. You haven’t asked me any. Overall, you are not very interesting to talk to.
