There is a loud radical minority on the left who to use a British expression have their heads up their arses when it comes to this issue.

And by not calling this out, we do a disservice to the Muslims who are courageously fighting against this.

How does the shitty human rights record in the Muslim world have anything to do with kids opposed to the genocide in Palestine? I don't care if the people being eradicated are perfectly aligned with my values. I care that they are being eradicated and expect the people doing the eradicating to be held accountable, even if the eradicators are more reasonable on other issues.

There is a war between a terrorist organization called Hamas that calls for the genocide of all Jews and a sovereign nation trying to protect its citizens from rocket attacks.

Gaza has billions of dollars in aid every year. Instead of using it to build a society, Hamas uses it to build a 400-mile underground tunnel network. They hide in the tunnels while putting their rocket launchers, near schools using civilians as human shields.

Look at the Palestinian population number since 1948. Then look at the Jewish population of Arab countries. And tell me what looks more like ethnic cleansing.
