Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Lol, ya to many people are stuck on this being black and white and thus you have to take a side. When in reality it's just a mess, a mess of history , a mess of religion, a mess of unfounded hatred. The only side people should be takeing is the civilians who are stuck in the middle.

The more I learn about the history, because am/was whole heartily ignorant of it. The more I have a hard time seeing a solution to this.

I have my opinion on what I think should happen but its not realistic or practical.

But there are a whole lot of people who have decided to excuse everything Hamas does and cast everything Israel does in the worst light possible. That's what I personally have a problem with. Hamas and its sponsors are despicable excuses for human beings who put slaughter Israeli civilians and put Palestinian civilians in harm's way. That needs to be fully acknowledged. At the same time, I see a lot of people in the US who are ignorant of the failure of leadership in Israel. They place all blame on Palestinians without realizing that Israel's leadership has played a role in sabotaging peace talks.

No, there aren't. There are plenty of people willing to state the reasons why Hamas does things. That isn't to defend or justify what Hamas does. But they do have the reasons. And Israel has proven themselves time and again worthy of suspicion in all things.

Regardless, this does not justify what Israel has been doing. Someone standing out front of any building with an RPG does not give carte blanche to level a building with military weapons fire.

I mean, both sides have done that. I immediately lose trust in anyone who tries to paint either side as not morally reprehensible.

I’m making fun of the people who see black and white.
