I think in hindsight, a distinction has to be made in terms of the complication of the problem and the complication of the morality. I realized that when talking to a Jewish acquaintance who was a hard-core Zionist that cut me off after a conversation about it.

When I'd bring up how I didn't like the idea of ethnostates in concept and I thought Israel was an apartheid state he'd bring up and forcefully argue about how we "got here" as a justification. Then I realized I didn't really give af about that. Coates expressed that more eloquently.

A lot of people struggle with the idea that they can perceive themselves as good people, and still realize they are doing bad things. "If I'm doing something it can't be bad, because I'm a good person."
