It really doesn’t. I absolutely agree. But look at the current state of social media. One post alienates one side no matter which way things go. Perception is showing if you support Palestine you support Hamas, are anti-simetic and condone terrorism. The other side perceives if you support Israel you are a Zionist and approve of the G word. At this point it’s a lose-lose. 
 

I'm sorry, but if Gaga simply shared a link to the Save the Children Fund or unicef donation, no one in their right mind is going to accuse her of sympathizing for hamas. And at the end of the day, a call to end violence is always going to be the right thing to do.

I would be thrilled if she shared a link, or even if she made a general post to end the violence happening there, but we all know that’s not going to happen. If she hasn’t said anything when it started, she most likely won’t share anything now. Which makes me believe that because she’s spend so much time in privacy, I feel she may be contributing to humanitarian organizations behind the scenes. 
 

she’s always been a strong supporter for human rights. Because of that I will always have faith that she is standing on the right side of history whether it be publicly or privately.

This is a very inaccurate comparison. 

Nazi Germany killed 6 million Jews (and millions and millions of other people), which was over a third of the entire Jewish population in the world and the majority of Europe’s Jewish population. Although it is also awful, the number of Palestinians killed in the last decade is no where near that scale to compare the two as equivalent  

Nazis herded Jews into death camps, where they were actual prisoners. Gaza is not an actual concentration camp. It is a territory with its own economy and security force. 

Jews were imprisoned and systematically executed. Gaza is a party in the middle of a two-party conflict. 

It’s this kind of emotional but inaccurate rhetoric that gets tossed around quickly and easily to shame people that escalates this discussion into unhealthy territory.

As there are plenty of Holocaust survivors having no problem calling what is happening a genocide and even a repeat of what happened in World War II, I don't feel an ounce of regret "comparing" the two, though I was really just using genocide as the common denominator.

Point being: you're wrong.

And you’re insufferable for insisting this is a “right” or “wrong” issue and honestly your combative attitude is not worth further investment of my time.

This is simply an issue of international law. But go off. You condemn yourself.
