Do you root for people stealing stealing peoples land and killing people for decades?
No.
But that in no way justifies killing a thousand or so people, injuring several thousand more, and kidnapping and threatening to execute hundreds (including children) in an orgy of violence. Both sides are in the wrong here.
You can support the Palestinians and their right to end occupation and not support Hamas. You can be an advocate of Palestinians' rights and not endorse Hezbollah or Iran's regime. You can be pro-Palestinian without being anti-semitic. You can support Ukraine's sovereignty and decry Israel's human rights abuses. You can condemn terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians and still believe in one's right to resist.
These stances are not mutually exclusive.
End the genocide of Palestinians.
I agree, this is the part I don't understand. Why do people want to force others to pick a side? They are both wrong and treat each other horribly. Cant we condemn both? Civilian death is completely unnecessary for both sides. Just lay down all the weapons and end apartheid.
The problem is you have two right wing governments that only know violence. The civilians are the victims.
I'll tin foil hat for a second. It really feels like there's a coordinated effort to push this as a really divisive event where you either completely support Israel or you're a monster. Is that actually happening? Probably not, but it sure does feel that way.

Because American and western politics are obsessed with explaining the world in terms of good vs bad instead of material conditions. Liberalism has rotted the brains of the western populace such that all events are viewed through the lens of marvel movies. Le epic wholesome Israel Captain America vs evil Thanos Hamas.
Fuck yes they are both in the wrong, maybe criticize both instead of giving passive carte blanche to one.
That blade cuts both ways.
Look at my comments, I am very clear on where I stand Israel and hamas are both wrong and innocents are paying the price.
Very impressive making a take that in no way addresses the status quo, which is, and has been, extremely violent with a massive power imbalance.
I think he's explicitly saying the status quo is shit
What side do you think i am on here?
Fuck off with your strawmanned whataboutism, terrorist symp.
Violence doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Yeah! Fuck the Israeli terrorists and terrorist sympathizers!
I am glad you stand for the freedom of Gazans against the Israeli errorists, thieves and occupiers
👏👏👏
Your petulant reaction is entirely appropriate for someone trying to defend the indefensible.
