  My point is that that is bad, it obscures reality and leads to incorrect conclusions.

    Incorrect conclusions about bad actions being bad no matter who does it?

      Bad actions have different intensities and scales. Such equal condemnation for unequal evil leads to people who refuse to take a Pro-Palestinian stance, which implicitly sides with Israel as the stronger force.

        The whole point is to condemn evil whatever the intensity, scale or who is responsible.
        But somehow it always comes to a comparison of evilness (obviously always the US) which somehow excuses (mostly Chinese or Russian) atrocities. And that is the issue.
