Consider how far you have to be to be both sides-ing genocide. Jews rose up against the Nazis multiple times, but in the context of the Holocaust it’s clear that their actions were reasonable and acceptable given they were fighting for their survival against a genocidal regime.
Israel highly encourages immigration of Jews to it from all over the world.
The Palestinian population in Gaza was under economical (siege?*) for years.
Israeli solders would regularly attack and kill Palestinian civilians.
Israel had a pilot-less plane that would fly in Gaza 24/7, which would cause annoying noise - a form of torture used in guantanamo - and when their fuel ran out they would suicide-crash on civilians.
The "Democratic Governemnt" the US/partners gave Palestine is nothing more than a means to control them, and when people in the west bank protested to support Gaza the police force arrested protestors and used violence**, and the Palestinian governemnt claims to have "30,000 soldiers with 30,000 rifles", but they're nowhere to be found when half the country's in ruins, yet they complain that Hamas didn't plan the 7th of October with them, preferring to obtain their rights through begging in the UN***. (not like it ever worked, as they're all Israel fanboys as we've seen these last few months)
I am not done yet with the governemnt, do you know that Abu Mazin (The Palestinian president) had a meeting with Joe Biden during the war (And asked how his day went and wether he slept well BTW), when the US was clearly supplying the weapons that destroyed half of Palestine; Imagine if Zeliniski (Ukraine's president) met Putin and treated him like that during the war? what would your reaction to that be?
Do you think they just took their land and left them to live in peace?
*I think that's the right word.
**Further evidence the government's just a puppet
***To quote the Abu Mazin: "If you had a dog, wouldn't you protect it?"
That's bleak, man. I'm also an atheist, but that doesn't mean I'm don't care about other people.
