It is not complex at all, it is just genocidal settler colonialism and resistance to it. "Complexity" is just a proxy for being uncomfortable acknowledging this, which is something you should do some introspection on as someone from a German instance. Ever hear of the Holocaust? Of Lebensraum?
Never again means never again for anyone.
The thing is that I actually mostly agree with you, but I do not think that the other side is entirely illegitimate.
What legitimacy do you see in Israeli Apartheid? Because, long story short, that's what the Israeli side is selling.
I'm not here for a drawn out debate. I think Israel's settlement program is a major reason why there is no peace and I would find Israel a lot easier to defend if they weren't doing it. It is only one piece of the puzzle though.
Which part of genocidal racist settler colonists is legitimate to you?
