The moral of the story is that Eldians are bad.
Eren was in the wrong for trying to protect Eldians, and his redemption was the reveal that he cared more about incest than his fellow countrymen.
Eren's friends only find fault in his actions when he starts killing Eldians.
Killing Bertholdt and trying to kill Reiner, Annie, Zeke, and Pieck was fine because they were Eldians.
Killing MP members in the Paradis politics arc was fine because they were Eldians.
The reveal that titans are humans doesn't bring guilt to anyone who has killed titans because they're only Eldians.
The non-Eldians of the world want to kill all of the Eldians, but it's painted as a bad thing for the Eldians to fight back against this extermination plan.
The Yaegerists, who are motivated by not wanting themselves and everyone they love to die, are shown as moustache-twirling cartoon villains.
Zeke is portrayed as a reasonable moderate for wanting to commit a soft genocide against Eldians by making them unable to reproduce.
Floch is discarded like a piece of trash for killing non-Eldians to save his people (Eldians).
Annie is forgiven, gets to marry Isayama's self-insert, and becomes a fucking peace ambassador despite openly stating that she'd do it all over again, because she only killed Eldians.
The story only morally makes sense if you recognize that there is an acceptable double standard.
Isayama believes that Eldians are objectively bad and the only good Eldian is one who helps to reduce the total number of Eldians in the world. And Eldians are White. No they aren't Jews - they have celto germanic names, European culture, and the only people who actually have Jewish names - the Ackermanns - are non Eldians. The moral of AoT is white people being exterminated is morally good and if White people fight back then they are evil.
