Goodness me. You’re really stuck in this goodies vs baddies mentality.
You don’t need to pick a side. You can condemn both sides for their shitty behavior.
Hamas are terrorists. They’re untrustworthy. They’re rapists and murderers.
Israel are causing a humanitarian crisis. The death of non-combatants on this scale is unacceptable.
Neither side are good guys.
Again, our disagreement centres around what level of force is appropriate to the threat.
Israel’s citizens have been relatively safe from Hamas in recent years. Iron dome is very effective. All Israel needed to do to mitigate the threat was to maintain defensive positions. Of course this doesn’t “erase Hamas”, but it’s just not possible to do that. You can’t kill all the terrorists, you just create more.
