    I’m sure Hamas was only targeting military targets /s

    It’s a shit show over there and there are no good sides to pick. It’s a holy war fueled by greedy resource hungry companies and countries.

    The solution is NO ONE gets Jerusalem, and it becomes its own nation governed by the UN where no guns are allowed and you can’t talk about religion. I’m sure they’ll go for that hahah.

      Hamas are scum but Israel don't present themselves as the moral equivalent of terrorists. So making the equivalence here doesn't help out that much, IMO.

      Israel is ten years older on average. Israel has material superiority.

      They are responsible in a way the Palestinians just cannot be.

          The average Israeli is ten years older than the average Gazan.

          Most Gazans are children, and Israel's population as a whole are older. They should know better.

          This conflict is the nation state version of child-murder and child-abuse. Even if the "child" (Gaza) lashes out, even if they do unforgivable things, there is still one clearly traceable source of the evil.

          Israel- The literal and figurative adult in the situation. Instead, Israel has laughed, danced, clapped, celebrated, and cheered for this opportunity they have so long sought. Yes, sure, it's not every Israeli, but that is just as true of the relationship between Gaza and Hamas.

          So now in this reality, where Israel kills so disproportionally, cruel, intentionally, with such malice. We call them monsters.
