**David Freidberg Nuanced Take of Israeli and Palestinian issue. **

The biggest challenge in finding peace is the binary framing that forces people to pick a side. Being pro-Israel and sympathetic to Gaza's children or supporting Palestinians while advocating for Israel's statehood is deemed unacceptable. One cannot acknowledge the existence of multiple Muslim majority countries and criticize Israeli actions. Nuanced perspectives and understanding the complexities over time are not allowed. It's a messy situation that demands choosing one side.
