What Israel is doing to Palestinians last 77 years it exists is much worse than what Palestinians do to Israel on average from several perspectives by at least an order of magnitude or more (eg. amount of destruction and killing for sure, amount of subjugation, ...).
So wanting balance and giving one-sided defence to one side seems fair, regardless of any "strong points" on any side. If one has strong arguments, they should be used and voiced, because it's simply a numbers game in democracy.
- Nevermark 2y agoAgreed. I do not suggest false equality. Or insipid "it takes two sides" type arguments. Another advantage of fair arguments, they add credibility for calls to hold the more powerful in a situation to take more responsibility for solutions.
