Hello I just created this Account for this Question. Is it okay to support Israel in the middle east conflict? I’m from Europe and have no ties at all to any Side. Its just that I lean more to the Side of Israel then any other. Is this okay? Is it up to debate which Side is to support or is one of them clearly in the Wrong? (Like Russia is in the Wrong attacking Ukraine or Germany attacking Polland 1939).
EDIT: For clarification: Im talking about their Settlements and their military campaigns NOT about their government.
If this Post is too political please remove and I’m deeply sorry for that.
There’s a pretty big asymmetry between the shit the Illegal Occupation of Palestine does, and the limited resistance attempts of Hamas.
Also, Hamas would have never existed if their people weren’t constantly under genocide, so fuck everyone here both-sidesing this.

yeah idk what happened there chief.
Also Hamas was empowered by the Israeli state by the distruction of secular opposition.
Not disimilar to how the US armed the Taliban & created a power vacuum for them to fill
But whatabout the US??
It’s an apt comparison, there aren’t many examples so on the nose about deliberately destabilizing secular groups and Islamist groups filling the power vacuum, only to become a more violent threat.
If you want you could compare it to the allied powers starving the Spanish Republic of resources, enabling the rise of the Nazis, but it’s a bit of a stretch.
Sure, but so what? Nobody was talking about the US here.
🤦♀️
Ok do you understand what an analogue is?
Perhaps Lemmy needs a “translate to simple English feature for you”
You are attempting to make a notoriously difficult and nuanced conflict into a simplistic black-and-white issue with your useless and insulting virtue signaling. So, what can one say to your comment? Fuck you, too, I guess? Grow up. There are two sides here, each with their legitimate interests and concerns. Geopolitics is hard, dumb-ass.
You ever wonder what it would be like if you had self-esteem & were proud of your values instead of complaining about others having virtues?
