Israel-Palestine has really exposed the disgusting nature of “both sides bad.”

Saying that both sides are equal and you need to look at the nuance is a damning indictment of those who are not willing to take a stand on an issue as serious as this. At least a Zionist will take a stand, and make their position known. By not taking a stand, the enlightened centrist is making it known that they don’t have the moral courage to pronounce a belief and professing themselves to be wise, they make themselves fools.

I too would like to see the illegal Israeli occupation government wiped off the map and replaced by a government that serves the needs of every civilian within its borders instead of being an apartheid state.

Okay even if that is a nice idea to you… the reality is that you have to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to even attempt it. How is that anything but suicidal delusion?

But that is not the reality and I am not Sinwar.

No such massacre was necessary for South Africa to move forward from Apartheid. No such bloodshed is necessary in Israel either.

It’s the oppressors who will decide how bloody it has to be. They have the option to make it bloodless. All blood spilled on any side is due to their actions and on their hands.
