Honestly as a mid-30s millennial I'm pretty "pro-Palestine" when it comes to ending the illegal (by Israeli law no less) settlements in the West bank and ending the open-air prison that is Gaza. Both of those things are just slow genocide, without even a hint of subtlety. Hell multiple authorities in the current Israeli government have made it quite clear that they'd be committing fast genocide if they were allowed. Worth remembering that a sizeable portion of Israel is of Russian origin, and Jewish or not they bring a very culturally Russian approach to problems like this. We can all agree that the leaders of Hamas and those who committed the attacks should burn alive, but frankly the Israeli-imposed conditions in Gaza make the rise of such groups inevitable. Hell it was Netanyahu's stated strategy to "control the height of the flame" of Hamas, an implicit acknowledgement that their existence was inevitable. And I still don't get our outsized military support for Israel. We just deployed two carrier battle groups and an Ohio class sub to their defense at the drop of a hat, no questions asked or concessions demanded. For what? Does anyone seriously think Hezbollah and some lightly armed Iranian proxy groups are an existential threat to Israel? Sure they could do serious damage, but they'd almost certainly lose in a stand-up fight. Honestly it just doesn't make any sense to me. At best we should be imposing strict conditions for our aid to create better conditions for Palestians on the other side, and at worst we should just stay out of it. It's anecdotal but these aren't uncommon opinions among people I know. The only "unconditional support for Israel" people I've met are all over 50.
