    This right here

    So many people see you saying “these are the reasons X happened” as you supporting X happening.

    Just because you can see the reasons why something happened doesn’t mean you support whatever happened.

      Which is exactly what the UN rep said and then was banned from Israel. They don’t want to ruining the narrative of being prosecuted for “no reason”. The UN has said multiple crimes that Israel have done things to fan the flames here.

      It’s a skill issue. It’s takes intelligence to conceptualize an issue or idea without accepting it. Seems many people talking about Israel/Palestine (in terms of everyday people) just aren’t bright enough to break it down for themselves.

      The whole thing is a legit clusterfuck. Israel has been commiting war crimes against Palestinians for as long as I’ve been alive, and Palestine’s de facto government is a legit terrorist organization who has done some unforgivable things. In the middle you have everyday people suffering for no reason beyond being born in the “wrong” place, and being further radicalized by unconscionable IDF actions. There’s no good guy on either side (in terms of those capable of taking action on a collective scale), and that breaks the brains of some. People ignorantly want a cut and dry solution, and a bad side to rail against, much more than they want to actually understand the issue and it’s causes.
