I'd also normally call BS but recently learned a very liberal family member of mine "isn't sure which side to take" on the matter.
I've let them know, but they sort of dismissed me.
So I can only imagine what someone all-on on Israel would do.
Let them know that if they're the kind of person who thinks it's justified to deliberately kill children because terrorists are using them as shields, then they should be consistent and also believe that if a murderer is holding a baby up to shield them from the police it is also justified to shoot through the baby to kill the murderer.
I've fallen out with my supposedly radlib parents since the time a few years back when I brought up Israel's ongoing genocide in Palestine and they got weirdly quiet and non-conversational. It wasn't just because of that, but that was absolutely a major contributing red flag. I'm sure they're against Israel today, now that it's politically popular to be so.
Sees one-sided conflict with superior force and a complete civilian massacre
"I don't know, maybe they deserve genocide?"
Facepalm
