To both of these, I have offered my perception of why this is the case in the Columbia thread.  The condensed version is that if two groups are in conflict the group that is more powerful is automatically the oppressor, and thus the bad guys, and the less powerful group is the oppressed, and thus the good guys.

Like, I am a firm believer in the concept that "one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter." There is a difference, though, when the terrorist organization also terrorizes their own populace through authoritarian control. Once again, nuance is lost on these people.

There are certainly some conflicts were this could be the case.  This is not one of them.  That doesn't make Israel perfect, far from it, and especially under the current regime.  They have religious hardliners that can give the other side a run for their money.  But, and I'm depressed this even needs to be pointed out (not to anyone in this post), if your side engages in gang rape, murders elderly people and kidnaps and then kills infant and toddlers you're not the good guys and you're not "freedom fighters".  You're sadistic pieces of shit.

The fact anyone here can praise that just further proves how deep the rot in the modern left has gotten.  Gonna have to excise it or it's going to grow bigger and more malignant.
