If you're not on the side of Israel and USA you're on the side of Hamas, Russia, Iran, NK and China. Which is unsurprising given UN's record.

Finally! A black and white take on war, famously a simple moral situation.

I know I am so so sick of these complex views on the middle east. What is with internet comment threads that makes them lack all definite stances? I been saying this for years, the internet needs less middle ground and more incoherent dogmatic positions.

So what about the stance of not supporting Israel's genocide of Palestinians while condemning Hamas actions. Ever consider that its possible to be against both sides?

It's not a game of sportsball. You can be on the side of people getting murdered who have no direct control of the decisions of the governments and organisations committing atrocities.

That's the UN's job in fact. They aren't picking a side, and they are saying both sides have done wrong. All that's happened is the UN acknowledging an objective fact, if you consider killing civilians and targeting civilian infrastructure to be wrong.

Nah I can hate everyone in a glorious spectrum of rage. Guess where you fall on it right at this moment.
