continue to condemn Hamas since they still want to murder, and destabilize, or destroy Jews, and Israel, as well as condemn Netanyahoo for this over extended indiscriminate killing war! Starving children and adults! Massive bombing when they could at times send more dedicated IDF, special ops to take out some of Hamas's control centers. Yes, they might lose some more soldiers (not good), but if the bombing is that indiscriminate that's not good either.
Away from the Gaza war, in the West Bank Jewish settlers taking away and messing with Palestinian homes, and land, tree groves rightfully theirs! Not good!
But Iarael also has to defend itself against too many Arab Nations their whole existence!. Wth! Terrible!

Can there be some empathy when things are bad on either side?
