First rule of war, dehumanize, and demonize your foe as violent, aggressive, and heartless, just don’t try it on Netanyahu and the right wingers in Israel. Look at the pictures of Gaza, close quarters and massive destruction, vs the holes in ag fields in Israel, with “iron dome” to protect any civilian populations.
Granted Hamas sucks, and many Gaza folks agree, but hmm, we aren’t allowed to hear much from those Israelis who don’t like Likud and Bibi any better.
One wonders at the logic of ‘you throw a stone at me, I throw a hand grenade at you’ has worked out over the centuries. When I lived in Israel in the 1980’s I saw 6 year old Palestinian and Israeli children throwing stones at each other. And this was within 100 meters of the Wailing Wall, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Holy_Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock.Ghandi and Mandella where are you?

False equivalency much? We volunteered. School-aged children didn’t.
