    I don’t look at one person saying “Murdering 5 year olds is bad”, look at another person saying “Murdering 5 year olds is good!” and try to find a way where both are right.

    This is literally what centrists all over the world (well, the parts that show up in English-language news anyway) think about Palestine, though.

      And you missed the entire point. Centrism isn’t about trying to find a perfect middle ground to every individual subject.

      Of course there will be centrists that support Israel carpet bombing everything. There are other centrists that don’t support them. There are some that will support them with conditions. I know someone who is broadly centrist who thinks Israel should be dissolved entirely.

      It’s not a fucking hivemind.

        It’s not a hive mind, but centrist parties almost invariably have pro-Israel/“it’s complicated” positions. There will always be individual variation, but the pattern is clear.
