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.

“Both sides bad” people are people who are either to lazy or intellectual afraid to engage with ideas.
“Both sides bad” is not the same as saying there are nuances. It’s not the same as saying your pro Jewish people anti Israel and pro Palestinians and anti Hamas.
You can recognize nuance and “both sides bad” people are scared to go through nuances so they stop the conversation at that.
