It's the typical "in the flag ship for my minority, yay! Also, fuck that other minority"
How about we just respect and equally support ALL minorities, or hell, ALL groups, depending on the situation?
Jews aren't bad, Palestinians aren't bad. Extremists are bad, whether they're on the Palestinians or Jewish camps. Palestinians currently have more of a point to be extremist, of course, but the extremism isn't helping anyone.
I'm on the side of both Palestinians and Jews, extremely opposed to the side of Zionism.
Ehhh, I don't agree with the notion that extremists are bad. The definition of an extremist is 'A person who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics.' I don't think animal rights extremists or environmental extremists are bad because I think the norm is morally reprehensible, unacceptable and unlikely to change without a pushing that norm through extremist measures.
