I wish more people could look at this like you. The violence currently ongoing in Israel is unconscionable – no treatment can justify attacking civilians. It’s just as unconscionable as Israel bombing civilians in Palestine.

Neither action is productive even in a war context. Killing civilians doesn’t get you closer to your goal. It just makes your enemy even angrier and gives them righteous justification for their actions. But even that doesn’t justify them killing your civilians.

Hamas and Israel’s conservative government are content to keep killing innocent people – to what end? How do they not see that it’s completely unproductive to their own goals?
