That's fair, and I'm sympathetic to that fear and that concern, but for all the nuance of how it got to this point and why there's still too much support, I do think that the reality as it has become has removed all nuance from the situation as it currently stands.

Israeli soldiers are engaging in genocide with all the gleeful torture and killing that is associated with the crime. They need to be stopped, leadership needs to be punished, and the everyday people need to be deradicalized.

A lot of people's anger at the calls for nuance comes from the fact that we keep being told there's nuance and that we need to be sympathetic to israel as they commit horrifying crimes and not only is nothing done to stop them, people in western nations are being prevented from stopping our governments and institutions' assistance to them.
