I couldn’t care less if people are Jewish, Arab, Budhists, Chinese or green mutants. I think that the problem of the west if they still divide people into these categories.
Back to the topic. If you get attacked you get right to defend yourself. If you are oppressed and are too weak to defend your state, you ought to sought help. But Hammas main goal is not peace or end of oppression they stated their goal is to kill all Jews. In meanwhile and if they succeed, do you think Palestinian will get better or they will live under terrorist regime supressing their humans right?
As for Israel , they have to get rid off Hammas. IMHO they can’t do that with shelling. They have to go in and clear Hammad with special force face to face. All civilian casaulties should be maximally avoided.
It’s supper hard but other option is what? Live next to the ticking bomb that will periodacally massacre specifically weakest civilians because , terrorist will quickly learn no retaliation can happen?
