I can assure you I’m critical of both sides. I just have a problem with all this one sidedness in a conflict where both appear to have done wrong. I do appreciate that in something so complex with so much desperation it would be difficult to act every time in the correct way, if there even is one but that shouldn’t absolve either side of any wrong they have committed. Sure it should weigh into it but it’s not straight up justification for the crimes against innocent people on both sides, none of it is.
That’s great, but objective looks into the Israeli justice system aren’t pretty. So trying to give them the benefit of the doubt doesn’t read like your critical of both sides.
I don’t think I’m really giving the benefit of the doubt, I feel like I’m just not giving the Palestinians the benefit of the doubt either. As in when it’s highly likely crimes are being committed because of high tension, it’s reasonable to assume that at least some crimes were committed. Like I said I think anyone who is innocent and treated as guilty is not worth the blanket guilty verdict to ensure those who are guilty are charged. It’s important to have fair trials when the ability exists. I’m simply pointing out that a lot of the Palestinians (we already know there are crimes committed by Israel) are guilty and it’s not fair to their victims to treat them as saints. If that sounds complicated it’s probably because it clearly is.
If you really want a reality check keep in mind if your daughter or you mother walked through Gaza how they walk through the street in your home town, they would likely be spit on and assaulted for dressing provocatively. And if you your son or your brother was gay they may well throw them off a building. If you haven’t factored this into your arguments please do, understand when you are picking a side you are defending not only their right to land (which I believe they should have) but also their way of life and beliefs (which I don’t). And if not agreeing with killing gay people and treating women like property is islamaphobic (I don’t believe it is) I guess I’m islamaphobic.
You are being ignorant. There wasn’t even a law about head coverings until the mid 2010s and kids are largely free to dress how they want. As far as gay people go, there’s one city in Israel. And after that LGBTQ persecution is on the same level no matter which side of the border you’re on. And killing gay people isn’t socially accepted anywhere in that area of Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine.
Ok. So you’ve just answered that there are laws about head coverings now for women and Israel has some safe haven for gay people where as Palestine does not. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Oh yes. Totally unbiased. As you roll in a pit of islamophobic propaganda.
Am I? Are those two examples untrue? Honestly I want to know because I would prefer not being ignorant
