3. Yeah...Its a very asymmetrical conflict

I am not both sidesy ever..that’s just not reality, but not being Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian/from a country that arms either side, I don’t really like to pile on..same with any human conflict. That’s just my personal take on human war..personality..

But it’s just alarming to see the way this is going. It’s destroying Palestine and being used to stoke anti-semitism the longer it drags on. It’s bad in every way for everyone involved. Whether it is Hamas or Netanyahu/his supporters, I don’t see how anyone could think they care for the interests of anyone in that region or those of the communities connected with them.

I get the reaction to certain people on the left who never criticise Hamas. But this war seems to have decimated common sense. The only people happy are war profiteers.
