    It is black and white, many Israelis don’t approve of IDF committing genocide and murdering thousands of civilians. But hey, Hamas did some stuff…

      Whats black and white? This conflict? Not at all mate. First of all, IDF is not committing genocide. If they were, the number of Palestinians would not double in last 70-ish years. Killing unintentionally around 10k civilians (less than 0.5% of the Gaza’s population) because terrorists were hiding between them and Hamas built no shelters is not a genocide. I do not approve killing civilians but calling this genocide is very inaccurate. Secondly, Hamas is a terrorist organization which wants to eliminate Israel (plus 12 million Jews) and they have to be removed as soon as possible.

      However, Israel has also been illegally occupying areas of the West Bank despite UN’s and Israeli supreme court’s decision, so they are not angels either.

      Hence why the conflict is anything but black and white.
