It's dogshit
Hamas and Israeli hardliners are two sides of the same coin. The choice is not one hardline faction or the other; it is between fundamentalists and all those who still believe in the possibility of peaceful co-existence. There can be no compromise between Palestinian and Israeli extremists, who must be combatted with a full-throated defense of Palestinian rights that goes hand-in-hand with an unwavering commitment to the fight against anti-Semitism.
Utopian as this may sound, the two struggles are of a piece. We can and should unconditionally support Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorist attacks. But we also must unconditionally sympathize with the truly desperate and hopeless conditions faced by Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories. Those who think there is a “contradiction” in this position are the ones who are effectively blocking a solution.
We can and should unconditionally defend US slave owners' property rights. But we also must unconditionally sympathize with the truly desperate and hopeless conditions faced by enslaved people.
We can and should unconditionally support Nazi Germany's right to rid itself of undesirables. But we also must unconditionally sympathize with the truly desperate and hopeless conditions faced by those placed in concentration camps.
Feel free to add your own
This is problematic when NATO is marching across Europe to establish nuclear capabilities on your border that 2 other European armies have invaded you through before. I do actually think Russia's invasion was a project of national self-defense.
I mean yeah that could be a compelling argument, but there are other justifications that also make sense for that. Crimea wanted to join Russia. They supported joining Russia before Euromaidan and that only made the support go up. Liberals like to ignore that Crimea wanted to secede from Ukraine way before the Russians entered, it was not a vote held at gunpoint.
