        One of them has a fucking state with international recognition and controls their own water, power, and borders. Not to mention being propped up by one of the strongest militaries in the world. They shouldn’t both be doing the same thing. Holding Hamas and the Palestinians in general to the same standards as Israel is naive.

          Holding any human to basic human standards is not unreasonable. Its understandable that people would respond violently in that kind of situation… but that doesn’t mean its excusable.

          Making the IDF and Bibi’s government out to be the only bad guys is naive. Hamas is using the Palestinian people as an excuse to carry out their own personal holy war. That is not any more acceptable than Netanyahu bombing civilians.
