    @probablyaCat there are more than two “sides”.

    Personally I’m on the side of ordinary civillians, 50% of whom are age 18 and under in Gaza.

    I want them to have all their human rights, whether that’s about being LGBTQ+, about free access to drinking water and medical aid, or simply about not being murdered by an army.

      Yeah me too. I want people to just get along.

      But when people say absurd shit like just getting along is a solution or that Israel is evil, that Israel should just fuck off, that Israel is a genocidal state, that Israel is just doing this because they are cruel, no different than the nazis, I take issue with that. Or that it is israel’s fault that this happened. I take issue with that too.

      The situation is fucked. And every war also, unfortunately, involves civilians. But there are currently two groups fighting. One rejects peace, as a basis for their platform. The other is attempting to remove that group from power, which could possibly be better for civilians in both Israel and Gaza. Bad things are happening but both sides are not equal.
