We think we are right, they think they are right. So who's right now?
Of course it is [relative]. Here we have a fundamental disagreement. This misjudgement is preventing you and everyone else holding this view from finding the right solutions, not only in this issue but in most other issues too. It is precisely because both parties believe that they are universally right that this conflict doesn't come to a halt.
Both sides being in the wrong on some point doesn't make it "relative". You can't ultimately say anyone is in the wrong if it's truly "relative".
The belief that there are real, absolute wrongs being committed (or potentially committed) by both sides is actually a much better prevention than negotiating "moral constructs".
And why are you giving up on the conversation just when it's getting good?
