    I think it sounds better actually. That’s what it is. Both sides doing the same thing. Let’s not mask it and pretend it’s anything but that.

      It’s not both sides doing the same thing. Israel has been displacing, brutalising and killing Palestinians for 70 years. Israel has a modern army, a modern air force, nuclear weapons and a functional economy.

      Since 1948, Israel has taken the vast majority of the land and continues to chip away at what little remains to Palestinians through illegal settlements in the West Bank.

      Gaza is an open air prison that Israel constantly surveils and bombs, controls who and what gets in and out and even regulates how many calories per day Gazans are allowed.

      It’s not both sides doing the same thing. It’s a settler colonial apartheid state brutalising an indigenous people who are holding on for dear life.
