It's pretty much the stance I have. The problem is that some people here and elsewhere tend to express extreme opinions. Like for example, it's totally okay to pray for the well-being Palestinian civilians. But some (not all, some!) participants of some of the protests that we could see here in Europe evidentally wish Israel to extinct. These extremely expressed "opinions" aren't okay anymore. I find that worrying.

Part of that is because some of the pro Israel side wishes for Palestine to go extinct. While also not wanting to acknowledge the Israel government has powerful allies backing the movement to dominate Palestinians.

The west officially seems to blindly support the Israel government, quick to point out extremists/autrocities in the Palestinian camp. However when it comes to the extremist/autrocities from the Israeli government it's controversial to even acknowledge. To even criticize the Israeli government people twist that into, "you must be pro Hamas/terrorists" or "you're antisemitic."

Same to the official outpouring of care for civilians. Attacking civilians is bad regardless of what side does it. Yet when Israel attacks civilians its either not even acknowledged at all, or we get a list of reasons why it's different when they do it.

In case the obvious needs to be stated, I dont support either sides extremists or autrocities.
