Outrage after French MP says Israelis 'not welcome' at Olympics

I'm downvoting every Israel/Palestine story. I'm just sick of it, from all sides. The posters, the graffiti, speeches in congress, everything. Keep that holy war shit in the holy-war-designated-area please.
I'd like to request my tax dollars stay the fsck out of religious conflict as well. This has been going on for thousands of years. I don't believe in unicorns and leprechauns but I do believe there are many serious issues to solve that have nothing to do with imaginary deities.
If you agree with Israel, then they're being unjustly accused of genocide while they defend themselves. That is something that needs to be talked about.
If you don't, then Israel is committing genocide, and that needs to be screamed from the roof tops.
I mean, fuck SpaceCowboy, cause they're defending a genocide, but they absolutely should be talking about it, based upon their professed beliefs.
What if I agree with neither of them? What if I can't avoid the thought that if either of them wanted peace, this conflict would've ended a long time ago? My criticism of both sides is the same. If either of them truly cared about the innocent on the other side to even 10% of the degree they care about their own, their actions would be completely different.
I agree with you. Let’s exterminate one side of them! /s
So where was it that you lost your humanity?
Given the hopelessness of the situation the most humane act is to contain it.
Again, you are no longer human if you can feel such apathy for suffering. Get help.
You're confusing logic for apathy. At best, spray painting buildings half a world away from the problem just adds minor suffering to major suffering. At worst, it associates the cause these activists are claiming to support with criminality and basically shitting on people's communities, doing little more than providing an empty feeling of "I did something" for the activists while actually making the problem worse. It seems to me the apathetic ones are those who think major suffering on some people justifies inflicting minor suffering on everyone else.
