The funny thing about this comment is that it tells me nothing about whether you are sympathetic to Israel or to the Palestinians, they might both write exactly this and think they've completely destroyed me.

I looked into your comment history and see you're pro-Palestinian, but I would not have been able to guess this just from this comment.

Why should that matter to a centrist?

After all... the whole reason centrists love this whole "there is no truth" trope is because it's one of the bitterly few ways to justify clinging to whichever false narrative is least threatening to the status quo.

So why should you care?
