Another day, another war. I don’t fully know the history of Israel and Palestine, so i won’t give definite comments on who I support or anything. However, I have seen some footage of Hamas assaults on Israel, and goddamn it is messed up. Hamas has been explicitly targeting civilians, even going as far as to bomb Israel’s music festival. They have taken numerous hostages that have not posed any threat to them, and have slaughtered numerous families, babies included. There was one clip where they shot a car’s passengers dead to get though a road gate, then stormed the house, kidnapped the family, and burned the whole place down. Not to mention, harming civilians is a literal war crime. I’m leaning more towards Israel because of all this but I’ll do some research and see what the history and motivation for this war is. Apparently Iran and Qatar are supporting Palestine too but I don’t know if they are giving direct assistance. For all those affected, stay strong. Israel has a lot more supporters, and I’m sure they’ll come on top in the end.

obviously war crimes aren't okay but Israel has been overblowing this attack, as its only a fraction of the violence they've been engaging in against Palestinians for a long time and their current response is to starve everybody in Gaza (40% people under 15) of food, fuel, and water, which is another war crime/crime against humanity. two wrongs don't make a right and responding to war crimes with more, possibly worse, war crimes isn't acceptable.
