    I’m a centrist in that I think the Israelis and Palestinians should live happy, productive lives and not be shot.

    It just so happens that only one side seems to disagree with that.

        Notice I didn’t say “Hamas” in my comment. Hamas attacked Israel. Israel then attacked Palestine.

          You can’t cherry pick. Not all Israelis agree with their government. Not all gazans agree with Hamas, their government. But they’re the parties in charge.

            I can because of the massively disparate sizes involved. A tiny Hamas force killed about 1,200 Israeli civilians. Israel’s much larger army then proceeded to kill about 45,000 Palestinian civilians. That’s about 2% of the pre-war Palestinian population, and that’s not even counting the human suffering that hasn’t yet resulted in death.

              Yeah and sorry but if you fucked with one of my family members, and if I was capable, I’m going to wipe out all traces of your family, all the way back to the stone age.

              Don’t expect proportionate responses. We’re not cavemen and that’s not how it works.
