People are split on this "war" because you have to understand 3 ideas but only one is being talked about.

  • Hamas are terrorists and need to be stopped
  • The Israeli military response has been primarily to punish everyone not systematically eliminate Hamas
  • The displacement of Palestinians should never have happened and lead to the development terrorist groups

The way that this is being sold by the news is that Palestinians have been waging an aimless, 60 year religious war against the innocent but technologically superior Israelis. While superficially "true" it doesn't cover the whole situation and doesn't help people understand that Hamas terrorists makes up a minority of the Palestinian population.
