No matter which side of that argument you find yourself on, the other side will reliably invoke the specter of genocide. If you side with the Israelis, you will be accused of supporting the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. And if you side with the Palestinians, you will be accused of wanting Jewish people to be genocided again.

And if you say that both sides have a lot of valid points and you aren't sure how to weigh all those points to reach a clean and simple conclusion? Well... I've never won any friends like that.

I would be happily be friends with any person who says "it is more complicated than that", because it is a stepping stone to "let's investigate and understand a bit more". These are the people you learn from, regardless or political or religious affiliation...
