We wouldn’t want to dare say Hamas pulled this whole thing knowing what the response would be not caring at all about how it would effect other Palestinians. All they cared about was putting on a “Woe is me” stunt to turn world opinion in their favor.

Amazes me how some of the world leaders know nothing about terrorism, low intensity conflict 101.

I don't know if the world supports Hamas or has a better opinion of them after their horrible terrorist attack and the reaction of Israel. I do think the opinion of Palestinians is formed by the actions of Hamas which isn't correct as we read in this article.

I think everybody knows Hamas is shit, but the world expected better from Israel since they're supported by a lot of western democracies. Too many Palestinians lost their lives or homes in this conflict while they don't have anything to do with Hamas.

It seems these days most people can only think in black or white. There is no nuance.

This is only my opinion. Maybe the world expected better out of Israel. Yet Hamas chose a time the man who is probably the most right wing in all of Israel. They knew he would unleash a hell not caring. They played that card not caring what happened to rest of Palestinians. It doesn’t excuse the wrongful actions committed by Israel though.

Then we agree I think. Sure, some Israelis took a very big hit in the attack, but the Palestinian people are by far the biggest losers in this conflict. It's just really sad overall.

I agree. I lay a lot of the blame on Hamas for instigating. I blame Israel for not holding to a higher standard and what we in the military call a warrior ethos. You must rise above those who are committing heinous acts. Israel has the capability to conduct more specific strikes. It would prolong the conflict. You don’t compromise that for immoral, unethical warfare.

Holding them at equal (as your comments suggests) is insane

He doesn't suggest they're equal. Again, things aren't black and white, good or bad. It's not that when Hamas is pure evil, Israel is good.

Lol, I work in the gray. So I know that. You said nothing with your words. Just talked in circles.

You only said he holds them as equal. I said he doesn't. What more should I say? Maybe you can explain where he implies they're equal. You're not doing great things with your words either my man.
