lol you clearly think the Palestine side are worse, stop being disingenuous and just say it with your chest.

Only one side is being armed and funded by our tax dollars, and that’s good enough reason to protest.

your current employer funds the Israelis
...hence the protesting?
> Only one side is being armed and funded by our tax dollars

I mean, yeah, I would heavily prefer for one of the sides in this conflict to be much better funded and armed than the other. Specifically, the side that I consider to be fundamentally in the right in the conflict.

Whichever side I am talking about is not relevant to the point. What's relevant to the actual point I am trying to make, is that I don't think that one side being better armed and funded serves as a reasonable indicator of which side is right/wrong in a given conflict.

> I would heavily prefer for one of the sides in this conflict to be much better funded and armed than the other.

Most Americans would prefer that we fund neither.

And this isn’t 2012, majority of Americans today do not see Israeli’s, who steal, spy on and try to get Americans killed through wars they start as the “good guys”.

> you clearly think the Palestine side are worse

You only think that in order to fit your narrative... even I already stated the contrary.

> that’s good enough reason to protest.

Clearly, this protest isn't about that. The protest is about criticizing Israel's actions.

It's you who should stop being disingenuous
