      Palestinians and isreali civilians are caught between two asshole organizations and as they say, when elephants fight, the ants suffer.

        It’s tiring to see everyone taking sides. Just admit that both sides are wrong: Hamas are using civilians as cover, Israel is just killing everyone to get at Hamas. The people suffer. :-(

          I don’t understand why this is such a difficult concept for so many people. Two sides can absolutely be in the wrong, especially over the span of generations. At such a point it really hardly matters anymore at all who started what, it’s just two sides showing humanity’s ugliest side non-stop.

      of course that’s possible, I’m pointing out that the language used in the title of this post doesn’t want you to see it that way

      No, didn’t you get the memo?

      Everything is a team sport these days, and just like you can either be team Jacob or team Edward but can’t be undecided, online etiquette rules dictate that you can either be team Hamas or team IDF.

      And no, team ‘civilians’ doesn’t count. Too much grey area for people to know whether you are on their team or not. They’ll need to read your entire comments to know if they should downvote you or upvote you.

      Could you imagine?

      That’s probably a war crime in and of itself.

      So hurry up and pick a side and stop making discussing international conflicts online so complicated with your ‘nuance’ BS.
