Don’t care what you think of my intellect. I know what I think of yours -


You’re the guy who’s incapable of seeing the big picture in anything other than black and white terms, such that you apparently see a 3 yr old Palestinian kid as a “bad guy”. Don’t know if that’s a low IQ, EQ, or both issue with you, and don’t care.

Ukraine is pretty simple - a large autocratic neighbor invading a smaller democracy. If you come down on the side of democracy, you come down on the side of Ukraine, which in no way has ever given Russia cause for grievance, except that they won’t bend to Putin’s will. That’s how you come down if you want to avoid war with China, too.

The history of the Mideast since Israel’s founding is much more muddled. If you’re a democracy fan, you should still come down on the side of Israel. But if you have half a rational brain, you can also see the millions of people who are just caught in crossfire. But yeah, western libs who advocate things like gay rights on one hand, and chant “River to sea” in support of Hamas on the other, are as simplistic in their worldviews as you are. They are the other side of your coin, showing us yet another way that extremists across the political spectrum resemble each other.

Pretty good argument that the easiest “bad guys” to identify in these conflicts are Putin and Hamas, and that a close second to them in the bad guy race are folks like you, and the simplistic pro-Palestinian folks in this country who resemble you so closely.
