tl;dr Hey Moderates of both sides! Guess what? There are extremist, racist arseholes on your side too! So every time you point to the other sides arseholes remember yours are probably also showing. Pro-Palestine protests have descended into disgusting anti-Semitic displays of thuggery, and many in Gaza call for Israel to be wiped off the map. Meanwhile far-right Israelis in Israel call for Death to Arabs (while their politicians have done so for years), price-tag attacks on Arabs and their property are rife and some residents of Tel Aviv watch the rockets fall on Gaza as though it were a firework display, cheering as women and children die. Both sides are being pulled towards extremism. If you post an example of anti-Semitism or far-right Zionism from the other side, this doesnt tell me anything about why its justified to keep up the actions of either side, both of which are killing civilians. All that it tells me is that you are not only biased but unwilling to confront your own bias. The only thing that matters is to stop the violence - if you give extremists the oxygen of publicity, you are only trying to justify further violence.
