And if people would stop downplaying their favored side’s crimes, that’d reduce the fighting.
Livestreaming mutilations, kidnapping toddlers while murdering their parents, leaving behind corpses with no underwear and unrecognizable smashed faces, and parading naked corpses through cheering crowds shouldn’t be described as “resistance” or “fighting the oppressors”.
Indiscriminate shelling of civilians under evacuation and trying to erase an entire state shouldn’t be described as “defense” or “securing the borders”.
If people could just fucking accept that even if they think side X is in the (most) right, side X can still be horribly evil and doing it wrong. And if they (rightly) point out that one particular side is being evil as all hell, it doesn’t mean the other side are a force of good just a bit misunderstood and under pressure poor them.
IDF has done worse than mere indiscriminate shelling and going for a landgrab, for the record. People just try to brush it off as “a few bad individuals” just like they do with our cops here in the US.

US cops often trained by the IDF. Round and round on this circle, we go.
