What I find interesting is that through all this suffering, Hamas hasn't surrendered and returned the hostages in return for it's own peoples peace. They should renounce everything they have done in my opinion and give themselves and the hostages back in return for and end to the conflict.
People will argue with me and say Hamas is some type of resistance movement against oppressors so they should "fight on", expel or Jews or whatever and that October 7 was fine, but Hamas don't even wear a uniform so the IDF has no idea who they even are, for all they know there actually is Hamas in those camps. This is already a violation of the Geneva convention:
The Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law dictate that combatants must distinguish themselves from civilians during armed conflict
The entire situation there is just a tragedy for the actual innocents wrapped up in it and it's a shame bigger men cannot seem to find their balls and do the right thing.
I don't see how this war is going to end by providing Hamas with more aid but it looks like they've set it up so the world needs to give them aid so their own children don't die.

If someone came, stole your land, raped your women, killed the children, and occupied town after town, and then forced you and rest of the survivors into a town, built walls around you, imprisoned the whole city, didn't let you do anything, brought the most racist thing upon you, silenced your cried for help in the world, payed all media to portray you as animals and dehumanize you, and all of your acts of civil cond…
This happened to a lot of people in WW2, basically no one who lost their land responded with something like October 7.
This is happening now to Ukraine and the way the respond is the correct way to respond, it's not blowing up schools, or music festivals or raping young women and parading their dead bodies around town on the bonnets of cars so people can spit on them.
The fact that people put all the blame on Israel for the situation is why this war will continue for a long time.
Source, decadent of people who's land was stolen first by Nazi's then by Soviets.

The problem is simple: conflicts like this are made into binary good vs evil arguments where the other side is bad and your side is good. The reality is that both sides have legitimate concerns, and likewise, are doing very bad things. Intelligent and caring people get sucked up into this and can only echo their hate for the other side. The exciting world of tech is designed to amplify the opposition but not to find…
You are just heading into another set of abstractions. A third neutral path that still misses the most important factor. That human life and dignity is the overwhelming priority. A legitimate" concern is a very bad reason for death, injury, trauma and hunger.
My heart goes out to the people of Palestine, and I'm rooting for them.
I'm not a fan of Hamas though.

If any attempt is being made here to justify those horrible acts, the attempt is being made by the Israeli state, its army, and (since it's a democracy) its electorate.
Some believe the current attempt is unnecessary because attempts prior to October 7th had already succeeded. The evidence for this belief includes hard-to-fake numbers like both sides' cumulative death tolls.
Many more serious or cautious voices believe that nothing Israel could do after October 7th could retroactively justify it. But still an attempt is being made.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation, the IDF is a state. Of course the state should be held to a higher standard than a terrorist organisation, this is not me excusing what Hamas have done, but if you start justifying a state's actions with "a terrorist organisation has done the same" where does that end? US state actors hijacking and crashing a Russian passenger jet into the Kremlin?
