    I am against Israel’s government also, but “anyone who attacks israel is my friend” is an even more childish picture, I am providing realistic nuance, not mindless hugboxes ineffectual armchair political strategists. You don’t HAVE to have a black-and-white picture of the world, I promise it’s okay to NOT take a side about some issues.

      Is that what you think you’re doing? Not taking a side by justifying one side bombing the other?

        No, I’m saying the reality is more nuanced than you or I know, and if you’re out cheering every time a Houthi sinks a shipping vessel you’re as dumb as the right. The situation is complicated and not as cartoonishly simple as most people in this post are making it out to be. Don’t view this as “good guys and bad guys” or you will be another mindless drone complicite in the agendas of powerful assholes.

        No, I’m not doing back and forth about it. Have a good one.
