Almost a troll-like insistence on lack of nuance to an extremely complex situation

    The invocation of nuance is a trick to get you to not take a stance that matters and to stay trapped in your own head cooking up imaginary solutions that can never and will never happen.

    The actually nuanced position is to support Hamas despite its flaws, because they're the only material force that is fighting for Gaza.

    The actually nuanced position is to be opposed to the bloodshed and race/religion-based tribalism happening with both the Israeli government AND Hamas, and to do more than just “tut tut” Israel’s recent activities in the West Bank and the virtual prison they’ve turned Gaza into.

    Hamas is resisting Zionism, not Jews. They're pretty explicit about that.

    So if you oppose race/religion-based tribalism you support Hamas, because they're the ones opposing it.
