If you would not have called Rhodesia or Apartheid South Africa the good guys then you should not consider Israel to be the good guys either.
I don't think a lot of westerners realize how highly propagandized and pro-colonialist their media is.
The US deemed the African National Congress (ANC, the main group resisting apartheid south africa) a terrorist group just like they do hamas now, and only removed Mandela from the US terrorist watchlist in 2008.
US media is saying all the same things about Palestine's resistance that they did in the 80s w/ to south african apartheid.
The amount of bias, propaganda, and straight-up misinformation from western media regarding this "conflict" (more like massacre) is truly outrageous.
