Which makes it even scarier when members of the Israeli government are now saying they need a Nakba in Gaza. The citizens of both countries need to rise up above their oppressive leadership that uses their lives as fodder. Israel needs to stop electing far right shitheads and Palestinians need to get out from under terrorist rule.

This I agree with. And obviously Israel has done awful things as well.

Only if he is speaking on behalf of defending Hamas. But he's not.

The thing is that the situations are not equivalent. He leaves out how often Israel gets attacked by the people around them (and that's been the case since the beginning). He also leaves out that if the roles were reversed, as bad as you might think things are for palestinians in Israel, it would be so much worse the opposite way. I still think if Hamas has Israel's military power, then Israel is just wiped out.

I can understand thinking the conflict is complex (it is) and that Israel has committed awful acts themselves (they have) but its not even. And I think people neglect to talk about how antisemitism plays a role
