The fact that this is only an “opinion” is a fucking travesty
The travesty is how many people are unable to say this out loud. Everyone is stuck in their black & white tribalism, making them blind for their own sides atrocities.
You can be pro Palestine and still condemn Hamas. You can be critical of the Israeli government and still grief for all the innocent Hamas victims. It's not actually that hard to be a decent human being.
I got downvoted for arguing with a douche that was actively taking sides in a debate over which side kills more children.
This is where we are now.
I mean it's not a debate, Israel by 36x.
