On the other is an obscurantist, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, fascistic, and murderous political movement that persecutes homosexuals, represses women, and glorifies the murder of children in their sleep. The activists are right - the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is about good vs. evil. They're just confused as to which is which.
