In my view, anybody who looks at this conflict, and is fine saying 'I support X side' without qualification fits into one of two categories:
- They need to be educated on the basic facts of the situation. Many, many people know a lot more than I do, and I can't see it that way.
- They're willing to ignore the atrocities committed by the side they support. IMO, this position is unconscionable.

Well said.
