The problem is simple: conflicts like this are made into binary good vs evil arguments where the other side is bad and your side is good.

The reality is that both sides have legitimate concerns, and likewise, are doing very bad things. Intelligent and caring people get sucked up into this and can only echo their hate for the other side.

The exciting world of tech is designed to amplify the opposition but not to find consensus.

You are just heading into another set of abstractions. A third neutral path that still misses the most important factor. That human life and dignity is the overwhelming priority. A legitimate" concern is a very bad reason for death, injury, trauma and hunger.

My heart goes out to the people of Palestine, and I'm rooting for them. I'm not a fan of Hamas though.

The film The Battle of Algiers shows this well.
