    I’m glad you bring up the power imbalance. The “both sides have been doing horrible stuff” only works if both sides have equal footing, which they clearly do not. This does not negate the crimes commited by Hamas, but extremism doesn’t come from nowhere and Israël has a responsibility in that.

      Also disproportionate use of force is a war crime. We see Israel doing this in every war with Palestine since the Nakba.
