Reply To: Have you ever been told that supporting Israel prevents you from supporting Palestinians? After taking this course, how would you go about responding to false accusations like this?

I believe you make a great claim that support for Israel and Palestine is not mutually exclusive. The polarization of the issue makes the world choose one or the other and choosing one means you can’t choose the other. After taking this course, it is clear that political polarization drives the right to self determination to be an unpopular opinion that is inherently exclusive. I think you make a great point that Jews and Arabs alike have faced exile and supporting their right to exist is a complex question.
