I have radical Palestinian supporters on one side of my life and radical Israeli supporters on the other, and I've basically stopped reading anything they say right now because they've all utterly forgotten the cost in their need to be Right.
And then there are the people who just want to be Radical and haven't actually read any of the history beyond last week's social media headlines, and I want to lock them in a library and not let them come out until they've actually educated themselves on the tangled history of that region.
