in case you're morally obtuse

If you're a moral relativist who says, "Oh, Israel and Palestine are equally at fault and have done stuff to each other for centuries," you might want to look at this:

As Sam Harris noted before he became an insane Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer, the essential moral difference between Israel and Hamas is this: if Hamas had the power to destroy Israel, it would, but Israel has the power to destroy Hamas, and it hasn't. (Up to now, anyway.) Keep that in mind the next time you want to be a moral relativist.

It boggles my brain to see this kind of hatred. I mean, you can disagree with Israel on policy matters or territorial claims (I don't), but these people want death for all Jewish people. I guess if you disagree with them, YOU must be a Nazi.
