I genuinely do not know who the bad guys are. S lot of my leftist friends are against Israel, but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

Enlighten me. Am I wrong? Why am I wrong?

And dumb it down for me, because apparently I’m an idiot.

      Sees weird .ML obsession and conflation of victims fighting oppressors with their oppressors

      What does your both-sidesing accomplish here? Are you trying to say that Palestine’s resistance to colonialism isn’t justified?

      If so, then you’re doing this gandhi quote, but for the palestinian resistance.

      The good guys are the citizens

      I’m going to have to stop you right there, because the Palestinians are not the citizens of any state: they are a people being occupied, apatheided, and genocided by the state of Israel. So there’s a “very, very simple truth” for you.
