    Those are the two sides that are currently at war. They are both religiously motivated right-wing regimes, and I support neither one.

    I’m also not fighting for Palestinian “emancipation”, for the same reason I’m not fighting to “emancipate” Istanbul from Turks or New York from Americans.

      If Israel were ONLY attacking Hamas, you’d be correct.

      The problem is they are insistant on attacking, bombing, killing, and displacing all of the innocent Palestinians in Gaza as well, because they have been at war with Palestine, not Hamas, for generations now.

        They are at war with Palestine just as Americans were at war with Germany and Japan. Many civilians were killed and displaced there, too.

          Palestine didn’t attack them, Hamas did.

            Hamas is the government of Gaza

              Tell that to the millions of Palestinians homeless and starving thanks to Israel.

                I don’t follow.

                Hamas is the government of Gaza even though Gazans are suffering thanks to Israel. Just as Hirohito was the leader of the Japanese even though they were suffering thanks to America.

                In both cases, a government failed to protect its people.
