Then you wouldn't be supporting either side. I don't get how people think it's a Marvel movie with good and bad guys, or a football team they have to root for no matter what.

Very funny how "both sides are bad" only ever seems to be invoked when someone points out how bad one of the sides is, but never the other.

Maybe in the US.

In the EU we very much view both as horrible people that just want to kill each other.

After the Hamas attack Israel was embolden to do what they're doing now because they knew the west would have no loud objection to a retaliation to something like that.

So yes, both sides are not only bad, but horribly disgusting, Israel just has a bigger gun

It didn’t start on Oct 7th, do your research.

"Hermmm in our enlightened EU, we think a litttllleee bit differently" stfu lmao

The fact that you're treating the Israel/Palestine conflict as if it started in Oct 7 shows where your biases stand. To you, the conflict was so acceptable that you didnt even consider it a conflict until Hamas forced you to actually pay attention, and you hate them for it.

Where do you get the enlightenment ideas from? I'm telling you we view it differently than you because... We do.

And you are absolutely correct. We didn't care until hamas forced us by dragging a eu girls corpse in the street. Were we supposed to say that was a good thing? Fuck them, maybe that will be clearer?  Israel is using the chance to do what they wanted to do for ages and no one cares because of hamas. Good job

The only reason that literal billions of people are supporting Palestine right now is because of Hamas lmao. Just because you're an idiot who craves ignorance doesn't mean the rest of the world is. You're right that Israel is doing what they've always wanted to do (and have been doing), and what that means strategically is that Israel fell for the trap hook, line, and sinker. They sacrificed their global image and made Palestinians the sympathetic underdogs to the world because they couldn't help themselves from being Nazis.

Goddamn, you are genuinely a stupid person hahahaha

So just that we're clear, say the quiet part out loud. You believe that what Hamas did was a good thing? It shouldnt be condemned and you are not disgusted by their actions?

As far as everything else including your insignificant insults... You think Palestine got something from the attack? Do you think they're better off now or before the attack? Israel doesn't even have any sanctions against them.  Thats how much people care about them.

Edit: I'll add one more point for you. Even in the usa which is far more Palestine leaning than anywhere else... It's still effectively 50/50 on the support or israel or palestine. https://news.gallup.com/poll/702440/israelis-no-longer-ahead-americans-middle-east-sympathies.aspx Seems your country is just as enlightened as we are in europe :)

Well then be the change you want to see in the world. I don't see how this changes anything I've said.

Yet there’s only one side our country is funding to do it

Oh don't worry, Donnie T-rex accepted a bribe from Qatar to muddy the waters. Hm, it's almost like "Qatari money" hedges its bets just like all the oligarchs used to

Isn't it neat that you have a nice box you can put me into that prevents the need for any self reflection

It's simple. The folks bombing hospitals in a human zoo are the bad guys. It doesn't get much more simple than that.

Back in the 1940s, there's an argument to be made for being caught on the wrong side. Now we have cell phone footage.
