      Some of us are able to comprehend complexity and hold multiple thoughts in our heads at the same time. It’s possible (and the only way to be logically consistent) to understand that:

      • in Iran, Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent other Muslims;

      • in Israel, Jewish fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims, and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Jews;

      • in Palestine, Jewish and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims.

      This isn’t a weekend football game where you have to pick one side, wear their colours and then support them until the final whistle. This is real life, it’s complicated. Don’t turn mass suffering into a sport.
