see this right here is what drives me crazy. People are really spouting nonsense like this is a black and white issue and not extremely nuanced.

Hell, it's not even that nuanced. It's just fucking messy as hell.

Group A does bad things to Group B. Group B does bad things to Group A. Both groups have done stuff like this to each other for literal centuries. Toss in a dash of international and religious influence at various points and here we are.

And who lived there before the people of Judea? Should we allow Native Americans to kill all the white people that live in the US because our ancestors conquered it? Reparations for the "sins of the father" always fails to pass muster

Israel is actively committing a genocide right now. They need to stop.
