> But this is the point! Israel and the Zionists are reenacting the worst crime in human history (the genocide and colonization of the Americas). They are, in 2026 doing what the Spanish did in the 1600s and getting the same resulting rebellion from the occupied people.

Yes, but I will still condemn both sides, even if one is merely responding in kind. If it was in my power, I'd lock them all up. Hamas' and Israel's leadership, as well as anyone who directly comitted those acts.

Then I'd replace Israel/Palestine with something democratic similar to Lebanon's solution of accomodating multiple major religions.

> If you were really in their situation, what would you do?

I am perfectly confident that the average palestinian would not go through with killing a civilian Israeli woman or child even if you loaded and pointed the gun for them.

The same is true for the other side. The Israeli government/IDF and Hamas represent the worst of both.
