    Israel doesn’t represent every Jew that ever lived around the world.

    Yes I support the Warsaw uprising.

    Yes I support the dismantlement of apartheid states.

    These are not conflicting stances.

    If the oppressed become an oppressor my stance can change on them. Not taking the side of the oppressed while they are being oppressed is cowardly and indirectly supports the status quo/the oppressor.

      I must have missed history class where the Warsaw Uprising attacked a peace festival.

      Being oppressed is not a license to become a monster yourself. I refuse to condone cold blooded revenge (both Hamas and IDF).

        Alright what about warcrimes committed by resistance fighters and the allied forced during ww2?

        If you support those groups even though they have done bad shit then you’re a hypocrite and you should try and understand why you consider them differently.

          You’re demanding to view this as “good team” / “bad team”. Fix that first because it stops any hope for peace.

            Did looking at Nazis as the bad guys stop peace?

            But no I’m asking if you support critically or uncritically the allies in ww2.

            If you support the allies even though they committed war crimes and you don’t at least uncritically support an oppressed peoples struggle then you are at best a hypocrite and at worst a racist.
