I am not saying it is ok to support extremist Zionists like Netanyahu, the Israeli government and the Israeli military. An Israel in its current form is not ok and needs to be called out.

It’s the Israeli government trynna kill it’s own second-class citizens, who already live in what’s essentially an open prison, and committing war crimes while doing so. It’s like trynna both sides the colonizers vs native americans… only right wing racists do that. As they’re doing now - Netanyahoo is literally a huge Trump fan like lmao Validating both sides of something isn’t inherently good.

The state of Israel is literally built on colonialism and genocide, the two do not and will never exist without one another. There is no fair two state solution when one of the states (Israel) is literally built on top of the other state that it stole and murdered.

Is there a valid "two sides" argument here or is the other person the one who needs to be removed and thrown away? Now apply this to Palestine and you got your "two sides".
