When Ed Sheeran played the victim card after the Macklemore fallout, he did what all Israel appeasers do: he pretended genocide is too complicated to understand.
This is like explaining the world to children who can only think of things only in terms of “good guys” and “bad guys”.
It’s possible that Hamas (who murders children) might not be the noble freedom fighters the social media algorithms have made you believe. It’s possible that Palestinians have some issues with bad leaders just as Israel does. It may even be possible that none of the countries in the Middle East have good leaders.
You may even want to consider the possibility that there are good people throughout the Middle East, the problem is it’s just shitty people that are in power. The reasons for this involve religion, history, grievances because of past conflicts, high concentration of wealth in the hand a a few people, corruption, etc.
If your goal is peace, shit’s complicated there.
Spreading hatred and encouraging more conflict is simple. For those of us that want peace, it’s complicated.

Even if all or any of that were true, there is no excuse for the genocide.
Genocide bad. Simple.
