    That’s indeed correct, it’s a huge problem

    Remember that you were originally citing the electoral success of the Greens to evidence that Germany wasn’t all in support of the genocide. That doesn’t’ really work when you admit that the Greens are, in fact, in support of the genocide.

    If someone who says “Israel has a right to defend itself”, some people (apparently including you) take that to mean they have a right to attack Gaza.

    Yes, that’s because that’s what it was coined to mean, and overwhelmingly used to mean.

    It’s just that this situation is so extremely complex, has been brewing for decades

    Technically true of the Holocaust as well, but you still rightfully accuse anyone of saying so of trying to obfuscate a very clear case of right and wrong. The same applies to the Gaza genocide.

    I assure you that for the vast majority of people, saving civilian lives on both sides is the top priority.

    I assure you that this is not true; the lives of Palestinian civilians are very much not top priority. For many westerners, they are a negative priority.

    nobody has a clue how to solve it

    Yes, the Nazi’s said the same thing about the Jews. And then they came to the same solution that Israel has come to.
