I am not engaging in genocidal apologia. Just because someone isn’t as hard-line as you are doesn’t mean that they’re opposed to you. Viewpoints are held on spectra because life doesn’t exist in binary states; it exists on spectra.
I hate the Israeli regime. I hate Zionism. I don’t believe that the state of Israel should exist. I think Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk should be gaoled for the rest of their lives. I sympathise and empathise with the innocent people of Palestine and would love to see their sovereignty established and upheld by the international community.
I also believe that celebrating the suicide of IDF members is a fraught and dangerous precedent.
One can understand the complexity of a circumstance without ‘picking a side’. One can understand that humanity is complex, nuanced and difficult to understand. One can abhor the actions of a person while trying to better understand the motivations for that action. One can walk and chew gum.
TIL that saying people should go to jail instead of being Nazis makes me a Nazi.
Then don’t double down on genocide apologia. It’s really that fucking simple.
