How do you rectify the simultaneous feelings that arise from knowing that Israel is shooting innocent civilians and knowing that Hamas uses ambulances to carry out missions?

Am I the only one aware of this? Everyone else seems to be blind in one eye...

Dunno, which side has more power?

I'm confused. Are you making an argument that relative lack of power justifies immoral actions?

I.e. "My family is starving, I have less money than others, so it's ok for me to steal bread" (hat tip to Jean Valjean).

Just curious about your perspective.

Unrelated to the above discussion but, not justfies it, it's still wrong.

But a poor hungry person is a lot more likely to commit a crime of opportunity that feeds them and their family than a well of, well fed person.

Maybe you are actually agreeing with me.

My view, as a neutral observer to the Hamas / IDF debate is they are both wrong and you would ( inclusive you not you specifically ) would probably do the same... Cough Afghanistan etc...

Gaza has an incredibly high obesity rate, over 4K calories a day per capita, and it’s Hamas that stockpiles food not Israel.
