My position is easy to express, but apparently too nuanced.
Israel has a right to exist.
Israel has a right to defend itself.
Israel’s right to defend itself does not extend to illegal occupation of Palestinian land and systematic oppression of Palestinians. <– This is the part they’re doing wrong.
Palestine has a right to exist.
Palestine has a right to defend itself.
Terrorist factions in Palestine don’t have a right to exist or commit atrocities against either Israelis or the people of Palestine. <– This is the part they’re doing wrong.
Am I taking crazy pills? Is all that not just blatantly fucking obvious?
