[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 444344, member: 2210"] It's just sad that supporting innocent people, their right to live and have land to call their own is considered controversial (especially when Israel was literally carved out on some of their land by the West). Both Israellis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace, without being murdered....not controversial. October 7th, 2023 was an abhorrent slaughter of over 1200 innocent people. Israel had a right to respond by bringing the perpetrators to justice. They did not and do not, have the right to slaughter tens of thousands of innocent Gazans and Lebanese in response...not controversial. Just like the U.S. had a right to respond to 9/11 by bringing those responsible to justice. They did not and do not have the right to "put a boot in their a$$" when that boot really meant all Muslims in Afganistan and Iraq (most who were entirely innocent)....not controversial. Future generations of "terrorists" keep being created. All of whom feel they're justified to respond to murder with murder. It just keeps going....... My initial reaction was to want to delete Ed Sheeran's songs from my Spotify Playlist. Then I realized, he's not the problem. He does however, have a platform that could be used for a positive statement. You can support Palestinians and Israelis at the same time....shouldn't be controversial. [/QUOTE]
