If you don't support Palestinians, you are only proving you are either a stupid bigot or a stupid moron incapable of nuance and undeserving of an opinion.
I disagree with the "average Palestinian supporter" statement also, but unfortunately there's a very loud contingent of people who are "supporting Palestinians" by attacking Jews worldwide. They seem to think that a Jewish person living in New York is 100% responsible for what's going on between Israel and Gaza merely by the fact that they are Jewish.
I've seen people openly declare that Jewish temples, businesses, and homes are valid targets. I've seen people celebrate Jewish deaths or rip down posters of the people who were taken hostage.
Sadly, these people hurt the very cause they claim to support by linking it with this hatred. (For the record, I'm Jewish and want the Palestinians to have a better life.)
If someone's support for Innocent Group A is expressed by attacking Innocent Group B, then they aren't on the right side (even if supporting Innocent Group A is a just cause).
I feel like almost every single one of those people (the 'loud contingent' you mention) were already antisemitic assholes, and this is just an excuse to be louder about it. Besides hitching themselves to the 'free Palestine' voices, they have nothing else in common with the true supporters of Palestinian human rights and can fuck right off
In his defense, we're told by our leaders who to support, I'd bet 90+% of us don't know Jack shit of what's going on over there. Cnn/fox news said so and so is the bad guy so that's the bad guy.
