I don't really care about Israel, but the pro-Palestinian crowd seems like a bunch of butthurt losers to me. They hate Israel because Israel is a success and they aren't

Since the USA is the biggest financier of Israel's military, they are playing to US politics to get support. They assume rightwing=support Israel, so creating a left-wing=supports palestine movement might gather some sympathy from those who vote blue and blindly agree with everything they read someone tells them it's a left-issue, and it appeals to their bleeding heart. In reality, all parties in the USA support Israel the same, but play it like there might be a difference, like how you would play good cop/bad cop.

Thing is, it's much more complicated than that. The "Pro Israel" bots will only say things that make them look good, while denying or playing the "whataboutism" card towards anything negative. The Palestine stuff is the same way.

But reddit being reddit, 90% of those comments are probably bot-generated, and that's not even counting the fact most of them are [ removed ].

Nobody can have a real conversation online about the nuance, complication, and the fact they're all both justified, and "war crime-ing (for lack of a better verb)" at the same time
