    Pick a side or render yourself irrelevant.

    This isn’t about literary critique or the merits of the article or quality of the journalism, this is a fundamentally political issue that you keep hiding behind nuance to avoid taking a stance.

      Oh no, some people won’t take a side because they think things are complex and they don’t understand enough.

      Oh no.

        If they don’t understand completely clear genocide happening they should maybe shut up rather than support the genocider in circular centrist way.

      Funny I thought my comment pretty clearly “picked a side”.

      My comment is explicitly “Israel is committing genocide”. I didn’t write the implicit “and needs to stop or be stopped” cause I assumed we were working off the same base moral code: “genocide bad.”

      But you had decided I was your enemy so you can’t actually read my comment.

      It’s always lemmy.ml users who struggle with reading comprehension for some reason.

        Yet you won’t pick a side on this particular issue.

        I trust the people struggling on the ground against occupation. If their testimony is proven wrong I’ll accept it, but by default they have my support.

        Meanwhile you float in your sea of nuance because you fundamentally do not trust Palestinians.
