I don’t think it has to be hard. Shedding that specific “the two sides are Israel and Palestine” framing helps a lot:
The two sides here are (1) groups that just want to thrive in peace and safety, which includes huge swaths of Israelis and Palestinians and Jewish people worldwide, and (2) groups who believe that total eviction or eradication of another entire people is the only viable answer, which includes Hamas and Likud.

Recognize that, and we can recognize Hamas and Likud as situational allies: both want this conflict to escalate to a point where genocide is the only option. It’s why Hamas attacked in the horrifying way they did. It’s why Netanyahu responded in the horrifying way he did. It’s why Likud was •funding• Hamas when its hold on power was in question.
The genocide coalition is horrifying. I say that, and I’m massively in support of the other side.

Re " both want this conflict to escalate to a point where genocide is the only option."
This is another example of ignorance of the facts - which are freely available.
For a century, Palestinians have fought for independence & freedom.
It's spozed to be a US "value".

@DrALJONES
Well of COURSE Palestinians have fought for independence and freedom, as is their right. And in that sentence, I was not talking about Palestinians as a whole. I was talking about Hamas. Hamas is not synonymous with Gaza or Palestine. That is the whole point of what I wrote. Please read more carefully.

Sorry, you're mistaken again.
