    Do you consider Hamas the aggressor in the overall context of the Israel- Palestinian conflict?

        Is it amoral? Yes, for sure 100%. But as a global community, we barely punish those who engage in this kind of tactic, and when we do, it’s for some kind of political theater. More Palestinian civilians will die in this conflict by a factor, if you’re going to criticize Hamas for this, I’d like to see the same standard applied to IDF.

          I’m not saying either side is innocent, but you cannot compare this to the invasion of Ukraine since Ukraine does not deliberately target Russian civilians.

            Wow. I apologize for the confusion. I absolutely do not believe these two situations are comparable. My bad.
