    Yeah I’ve made it a point to not to “pick a side” which is what I am seeing people do in most conversations about the topic. I’m atheist and have no stake in either and the whole thing is just a disgusting mess. The problem comes when people justify the “eye for an eye” response that both groups are taking.

      This is the all lives matter take of the middle east. Israel has killed 36x as many civilians as all pro-Palestine groups have killed Israeli civilians.

      It’s not an eye for an eye. It’s genocide.

        No, killing innocent civilians is never the answer no matter who has done what. And both groups are doing it. Israel can be a piece of shit for what they have done and are doing. And Hamas can be a piece of shit for what they did too, they are not mutually exclusive.
