        Nah, fuck both sides. Indiscriminate killing is indiscriminate killing. Hamas is bad but carpet bombing hospitals isn’t better.

            Admittedly I just realized I misread the initial post I responded to. I thought it said, you can’t be pro-palistine without being pro-hamas. None the less, nobody’s have are clean in this conflict.

              I’d say the children killed by both Israeli bombings and Hamas rockets are probably pretty fuckin’ clean.

                Right, which is why I think both sides suck. The gray is that there is a lot more history then the last couple of weeks. None of it justifies current actions, but it’s not black and white…

      A stance of “Both sides are bad” is just a stance that favors the Status Quo.
      The underdog needs the extra assistance, the superior doesn’t.
      So for that reason I’m pro-Israel, don’t want either side winning, don’t want aid to either side, so that defaults to a pro-Israel stance.
      I’m comfortable being labeled as such.

        I get it. It’s a dirty situation with tons of gray area. I think Israel has the edge in higher ground, but every new article that comes out of their atrocities erodes away that high ground.

          Sorry what high ground has Israel. Over the years they proved how morally corrupt they are. And the civilian casualties are way higher on the Palestinian side.

          Checking the historical number of kids and women who succumbed on both sides is showing a terrifying trend.

          This recent escalation just proves once again how bad they are.
