Here is what pisses me off about this current situation. There are no good guys or bad guys. Each 'side' consists of a small group of evil actors and a large group of innocents.
Hamas is downright evil. If you have any doubts about this, check their history or some of their videos on YouTube. Their crass use of murder, rape, and torture taints and distorts the Palestinian cause they purport to support. And worse yet, they hide behind the mass population of innocents and deliberately "poked the bear" to invoke an extremist reaction that they knew would ensue and slaughter their own people.
In my opinion, the Netanyahu regime is almost equally as evil. But because they are an organized government, they have the option of hiding their ill deeds. But they can't hide everything. There should have been no surprise that their reaction to Hamas' actions would be so extreme and over-the-top. It was what Hamas was counting on all along. They have also been "poking the bear" with the Palestinians for over a decade by encouraging Israeli settlers to encroach on lands reserved for the Palestinians. And in the same manner which Hamas cowers behind its civilian population, this regime also uses its population as a shield.
This isn't a battle between Israelis and Palestinians. This is a battle between vile extremist organizations within those populations. And whatever close political sentiments you or I as outside observers may feel for Israel or Palestine only fuels the evil of those small groups and many innocent people get slaughtered. And there is historical precedence for all of this. This his how extremists and despots rise to power and function in the modern world.
The people of Israel and Palestine need peace. Hamas and Netanyahu won't let them have it. Know who the real enemies are.
