    Sadly, yeah. I’ve seen a few on Lemmy, which disappoints me. I mean, it’s not that hard:

    • Don’t support targeting civilians and cutting people’s heads off.
    • Don’t support illegal settlements and systematic oppression.

    Why is that difficult? Why is it so goddamn difficult to say both are wrong in different ways? Supporting Israel’s right to exist free from terrorism against innocent civilians is not identical to supporting illegal expansion and the oppression of the Palestinian people. And supporting Palestine’s right to exist free from tyranny and encroachment is not identical to supporting Hamas, which is a horrendous terrorist organization that is just as awful to the Palestinians as they clearly are to civilian Israelis.
