@arush @justicesandwich @Coffeechai The problem are people who think that it’s a zero-sum game – that if you sympathize with one side, you can’t have any sympathy for the other.

Which is bullshit, bluntly.

You can feel sorry for the Palestinian civilians caught in the crossfire, while recognizing that Hamas broke a ceasefire and kidnapped people. You can be pro-Israel, and be upset at the sheer number of wounded in Gaza.

BUT, as I’ve said multiple times before – humans suck at numbers, and we suck in general at being ‘reasonable’ most of the time, when everything pushes us towards extremes of position.
