I understand your apprehension to centrism as it tries to normalize uneven sides, but to answer your question yes. The bare definition of centrism is that you don’t align with either side.
While both of them have committed atrocities, the only reason Hamas has the power and influence it has because the Palestinian people are facing a genocide if they do nothing.
If you look at the recent history of the middle east you would quickly see that you don’t need to be on the brink of genocide to elect terrorists into government. Ideology and brainwashing is one hell of a drug
Hell no, I’m just not some delusional chronically online tankie that’ll cheer on the deaths of hundreds of civilians. I’m an anarchist. Ideally there’d be no nations to fight over or religions to fight about anymore, but we don’t live in that reality. Hamas committed a massive atrocity. Israel has repeatedly committed atrocities by murdering tens of thousands of civilians
Preemptive centrism I like it
“War crimes are always bad no matter who commits them” is centrism?
Any sane opinion is centrism and somehow bad. You are only allowed to commit genocides here!
Centrism is selling guns to both sides.

I don’t think it’s centrist to say Fascism and Terrorism are both bad.
Although I suppose “shitty people are shit” is neither a left wing or right wing take, so maybe it is.
Frankly, centrism is fine in situations like this where both sides are so blatantly evil.
There are lots of situations where it’s okay to sit on the fence. Centrism is only a problem when it’s pathologic.

There is no situation where centrism is not fine, lol. The only people who dislike centrists are extremists and fanatics.
