My views can broadly be summed up as
- Israel has a right to exist.
- The incumbent government of Israel is, at best, indifferent to the lives of Palestinians, and at worst, actively wants to kill them.
- 10/7 was an evil act of terrorism.
- Israel’s response to that attack has been wildly disproportionate, and their actions clearly meet the definition of war crimes.
- Palestine has a right to exist.
- Western activists generally care more their own egos and social status than they do about Palestinian lives.
I think like 85% of the forum can agree to that, it’s just a loud minority of psychos who make the discourse toxic.
This hits every nail right on the head for me. I'd double-recommend if I could.
