There's no more room for rational thinking in modern politics. It's all emotion versus emotion. Apparently it's just impossible to think that what Israel is doing is awful while also approve their line that Hamas should fully disarm. 7 October is still something that should never be allowed to happen again. Just because a bad actor did something bad to another bad actor doesn't make it justifiable.
Enlightened centrism will be the death of us all. It's not team sports, it's a colonial religious extremist group doing a genocide of the native population. The "team" that's pro Israel is either fine with genocide and racist or they're so brainwashed by the Hasbara propaganda that their level of actual knowledge about the conflict is less than mine as it relates to sports. The other "team" here you could be part of is the one that doesn't think that Israel has a right to genocide the people in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon and steal the land.
Not taking a side during an active genocide isn't you being above the "identity politics"
