Saying the history isn’t complex is just stupid though. You can identify that the history is complex without taking away from the fact that there’s a genocide going on.
I can concede that the conflict can present “complex” at first glance due to some Palestinians taking arms and themselves doing some heinous acts.
But this is all downstream of an illegal occupation by Israel. This conflict really isn’t that complex. End the illegal occupation, then you can reasonably expect violent resistance to die down and to talk your way through it.
No, you can acknowledge that complexity of the conflict and history without condoning Israel’s actions.
Discouraging people from appreciating nuance and encouraging them to think about a complex problem simplistically (as you are doing) is what tends to serve an agenda.
Calling it complex only serves Israeli agenda.
The issue is simple - No amount of complexity justifies a genocide.
