    *reflects the voting public

    Just calling it evil is a cop out. It’s religious colonial nationalism fueled by propaganda and racism that is fed to them as soon as they leave the womb. There is a very intentional wall that keeps the settlers and Israelis from seeing what is happening to Palestinians. When that wall cracks some people switch sides. These absolutists “they’re all evil” end up contributing to the problem by drawing that line. Instead we should be amplifying the voices and orgs in Israel and Palestine that aren’t giving up on the propagandized. It is an uphill battle and you’re helping the other side more than anything else.
