"Both sides bad" doesn't mean they are equal, nor does it mean you have to support a "lesser evil".
On both sides, the majority of the population did not vote for the ruling party (in Gaza due to not even being born the last time an election was held for the most part).
The civilians are not to blame in this instance, so why justify governmental decisions on either side?

Again, the actions of Israel, through government, local government, local settlers, etc are not at question here.
Bagor is claiming that Israel and Hamas are equal.
I have yet to see one Israeli rape a Palestinian and most a video about it.
Or put babies into ovens.
Or the dozens of other heinous acts that they committed and video taped, often while laughing.
War is hell. Innocent people die, especially innocent children. But when the US and allies were bombing ISIS in Mosul, and also killing innocent children, nobody went and called their actions barbaric, because everyone knew it was justified, while at the same time understanding that war is hell, and innocent children will die.
The ONLY reason anyone will claim that Israel and Hamas are equal, is because they view both as the same. Which they are not. Hamas is a terrorist organization, and needs to be eradicated from the face of the earth. To think that Israel is barbaric in carrying out this action after the events of Oct 7th is to deem Israel a state of terrorism, carrying out terrorist acts, which again, they are not.
We can sit here and debate Israel's actions all day long, and you'd be shocked how I would agree with most of the points people make. But Bagor has been posting this entire thread of how the actions are EQUAL.
So Bagor if you are wondering, before you go on the ignore list so I don't even have to scroll past your repulsive and disgusting comments, what Israel is doing is NOT barbaric, and is in fact 100% justified. The are within their right to eradicate Hamas, and every innocent child that dies, as sad as it is, that is 100% the fault of Hamas, and not Israel.
