>but if you think literally "all legitimate opinions" are "misinformed/cherry picked", then odds are

yes, i literally do think that, so there are no odds.

i think i am well informed on the related subjects to the extent that whatever point someone might want to make i'll probably have a counterpoint

Whenever someone asks my opinion on something related to the conflict in the holy land, I ask them if they want the anti-Jewish answer, the anti-Muslim answer, the pro-Jewish answer, of the pro-Muslim answer.

And it took me decades of studying this to determine what to call the two sides.

I also like "the Holy land" as a less political name for that region.

It's out of fashion and perhaps identified with Christianity, and some people think I'm being tongue-in-cheek or gently trolling by using it. But IMO it's neutral and unambiguous: that's a part of the world that is sacred to all the major religions of the Western hemisphere, while not being tied to any particular set of boundaries.

I don't know about the Druze, but the Muslims and the Jews also use the term The Holy Land.
