@Snorf why not just be on the side of the innocent then? That's the side I'm on. Civilians.

Just knowing what’s right and what’s wrong, and your desire to help is more than enough, just be the voice of the victim.

You don’t need to support either side. I don’t.
You just need to not be hypocritical and value all human lives and human rights equally. You need to stop supporting apartheid perpetuated by Israel.
The Palestinians don’t really need support from the West. They just need to not be blockaded and terrorized by Israel. And their land and water not stolen. All they need is equal protection under international law.
The Arab and Muslim countries and humanitarian organizations are more than willing and able to support them. Your support is not needed.
In the American context, such a stance will be characterized as being anti-semitic and supporting Hamas. But it isn’t. It’s just being consistent and impartial.
Many Israelis actually also have a similar stance. And they get accused of being traitors.
