At a certain point it is no longer about “who hit first” but about “who hit last”.
The biggest issue is the attacks are not proportional. Just like 9/11 what happened in Israel to flare this up again is but a drop in a bucket of years of lived experience of those in Gaza. It doesn’t justify any of it but it does provide important context.
Depends. How far do you want to go back? The aborigines of Palestine were Arabs. But throughout the 20th century we saw provocation as land was continuously annexed for Israel to the detriment of the local Muslim populations.
In recent decades, does it matter? If Israel is pretending to play the high ground here, why is everyone feigning complete ignorance to massive civilian collateral damage when they as a non-terrorist state SHOULD be held to a higher standard?
To that end, do you really think their bombing civilians isn’t going to radicalize the surviving family members…?
As for Hamas’ goals, I have no idea. But then again, the world is talking about them. Like any toddler for lack of words on the world stage, throwing a tantrum is the only way to get attention.
Do you have any data that shows those deaths of Palestinians in recent decades were a result of unprovoked attacks by Israel?
Do you think Palestinians can achieve anything good for themselves by starting violence?

And fuck Hamas.
