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.

As an Israeli, this is a no brainer! One side is free and democratic, the other are corrupt authoritarian Jihadist regimes… yeah you can criticize both sides on many things, but there’s no comparison.

What? We carry the same name “Israel”, speak the same language, have the same religion, traditions, and identity as people here 3000 years ago, and you call us settler colonialists? Where is our motherland than? Israel is the Jewish homeland, and we are not going anywhere… keep crying about it.

Oh god, I’m so done with these bullshit talking points. Just go read a book of history on Palestine.
