Hamas: Bad guys
Israeli government: Bad guys
Innocents on both sides are just caught in the middle of both Hamas and Israel committing to collective punishment which is a war crime.
I don't know what's so hard about admitting that both sides are indeed at fault here.
Because they aren't.
Israel is genociding Palestinians, and Hamas is resisting them.
If innocents are caught in the crossfire of Hamas resisting, then Israel is to blame, not Hamas. Israel targets civilians, Hamas was targeting the military.
Yep, especially in that music festival, or a pizzeria in Jerusalem, or in Dolfinarium music party - much military targets. And Arab Israeli population went from 1.5M to 2M since 2006 - if that's a genocide, the Israelis are really bad at it...
You mean the dance rave held at the gates of a concentration camp and active war zone? The one with many Israeli soldiers positioned and decided to skirmish the Palestinian resistance, and put the ravers in crossfire?
That's because of their high birth rate. 45% of Palestinians are under the age of 15. The genocide numbers are very well documented, but I admire your bravery with genocide denial despite mountains of evidence.
