Hamas is a terrorist organization. Israel is a democratic nation. You're going to have to supply some pretty compelling evidence for me to view them as equally culpable actors. This has yet to be done.
Israel is drove hundreds of thousands of Palestinians off their land and still denies them citizenship.
Many of those Palestinians don't want to let Israel "chill" to enjoy the fruits of that violent theft.
If you've simplified that into "Israel democracy/Hamas terrorist" then you've announced that it's not about "compelling evidence."
Why do you suppose "viewing them as equally culpable actors" is my or anyone's goal?
Why should not social-scientific analysis aimed at determining causes and effects, for basis of sound policy and solutions, be the goal?
