Saying "both sides" do it does not imply that "both sides are unequivocally equal".
Don't use Jack Savage's favorite bullshit strawman that "both sides" automatically implies 100% equal.
The fact remains that there are plenty of Democrats who shill for Israel, and effectual foreign policy towards Israel generally transcends which political party is holding office.
That's not the argument.
The argument is that, if a person actually cares about this issue and isn't just harping in bad faith, they wouldn't vote for the party/politicians that are absolutely and unanimously worse on the issue than everyone else. It's like bitching about corrupt tax cuts: sure, a few Democrats might lobby for tax cuts for their pet industries or might want tax levels that are insufficiently progressive to you and I, but corrupt tax cuts are the entirety of the Republican economic platform. So if you're voting for the Republican Party you clearly don't give a shit about that issue. And your "both sides" is dishonest to the max.
