We can denounce Israel without justifying other atrocities. Do better.
No, you actually can't. There are only two sides, the occupation and the resistance. There's no secret third option you can support to feel morally cozy and superior to the people actually fighting for their lives. You have to actually pick a side, and if you try to choose neither you just end up supporting the side with all the power i.e. Israel.
If you don't support the resistance and their revolutionary actions, you support their extermination.
I support the resistance. I do not support all of their actions.
I support the right for Israel to exist as a sovereign state. I support almost none of their recent actions, and absolutely none of their military actions.
That you cannot hold multiple complex ideas in your head at once is a personal failing on your part. You may want simple, binary, black and white realities but they virtually never exist in reality.
Any group that is beyond reproach is immoral by definition.
Once again: Do better.
Really? Why? You know they stole their land yes?
