@aral it’s the same “black and white, the enemy of my enemy is my friend” thinking that causes some on the left to praise Putin, a borderline fascist authoritarian dictator murdering, invading and torturing all day long, just because those people are against the US imperialism and Putin is against the USA as well. No, just because he criticizes something you criticize as well doesn’t make him a hero and good person.

@aral what makes it “difficult” is that Iran, Hamas or Hizbollah definitely aren’t good guys either and people saidly excuse a lot of abhorrent behavior when it’s against “bad guys”. Especially in the US. I’m repeating myself here but bad actions of one party don’t excuse worse actions of another. Netanyahu must be stopped if we want any chance of peace and an end to all that killing. The genocide in Gaza is inexcusable. No genocide can be excused.
