> So edgy; is being an apologist really the noble calling you think it is? Is it your noble calling? From the Temporary Constitution of the State of Palestine (2026)[1]: Article 4 – Islam, Sharia and Christianity 1. Islam is the official religion in the State of Palestine. 2. The principles of Islamic Sharia are a primary source for legislation. Not sure how anyone can possibly defend a literal religious autocracy, especially while espousing liberal ideals (right to self-determination, statehood, free markets, rule of law, etc.).

We can see that your own noble calling is to be an apologist for a genocidal state. It's a pity that in reality you likely do not actually get paid for the task, though I must imagine you have people accusing you of that on a regular basis. I'm not sure if it would improve or worsen the moral calculus if you did. I have no issue with Islam being the religion of Palestine, at least not an issue so strong that murdering its people seems like the correct path forward to me. I suppose your moral reasoning differs on the topic, but it's obviously motivated reasoning based on loyalties I cannot share.

Isn't Israel a Jewish state with Jewish law? If you hated theocratic countries, you'd hate both. Palestine doesn't have a government, anyway. Israel destroyed it. Its former temporary constitution is completely irrelevant.
