The simple problem with the "Hamas vs Israel Gov" equation to me is the power imbalance. One is a thoroughly modern state with a world top-five military. Hamas is... Really, really poor. Evil, racist, and generally unhelpful for those like me who strongly feel the Palestinians have been persecuted against for decades, but ultimately poor, isolated, and pathetic.
As ever when these cycles jump up into the news once again, I'll point out that Israel has done zero constructive acts since the last time it was in the news cycle - they've continued entrenching and expanding settlements, eating away at East Jerusalem, and taking water. As the side with 99% of the power in this conflict, I'll hold them accountable first.
