In no situation is the child to blame, you can explain why what they did was wrong but if you don’t acknowledge the circumstances of how we got here you’re being all sorts of disingenuous.
I can acknowledge the circumstances that have created this… thing, and still blame the child because none of it absolves them from their actions. Like you said, what they did was wrong. Are we just supposed to ignore the fact that they did was wrong simply because next to them is a bigger asshole who is also doing wrong things on a greater scale? I don’t think so.
The fact is Israel is wrong here and there’s nothing else to be said. Hamas is a force of desperation, why are they desperate?
Israel is wrong here, but it doesn’t mean Hamas isn’t also wrong. Hamas is not a force of desperation. Hamas is just a militant group that uses the desperation of others to further their goals. The ones being desperate are Palestinians, they’ve done nothing wrong and they shouldn’t be blamed. Hamas can fuck right off alongside Israeli government.
