MODERATORS
People aren't animals, though. They can take responsibility for their own decisions.
Also, where do you draw the line? You could take the same argument the other way around and claim Israel doesn't actually commit war crimes. It's because most of them are Jewish and they have been mass murdered multiple times throughout human history. They are now just fighting tooth and nail for having a safe place at least once in history.
It doesn't work to be on one side if people want to resolve this conflict. Unless you literally want the other side to be completely annihilated.
Oh sure, Israel is just defending itself from an evil aggressor! It's not imprisoning an entire people, robbing them of everything they have, taking over their land, routinely kidnapping and torturing their children, reducing cities to rubble, installing a system of apartheid, and ethnically cleansing the area.
Nope, none of that is happening and Hamas does what it does just because they are evil in nature.
If you look at what is happening and what the leadership in Israel routinely states, you'd understand that it is Israel that is annihilating Palestine. Instead you fall for sound bites and propaganda because you're either too lazy or dishonest to figure out what is going on.
Did you read the post I was responding to? That's important for context.
