No, at least half is easy. Any civilian who died or was held hostage is a victim. The military/paramilitary bear responsibility for their own actions, but ultimately, the one who lead the government as well as direct the Qatar (through Mossad agent) to fund Hamas because it kept the Fatah weak and palestinians divided bear a lot of responsibility.

And i'm a zionist btw. For multiple reasons, but i'm an independantist in my heart and i think autodetermination, even through violence, must be respected. What's grinding my gear are zionnists refusing that same autodetermination for Palestinians.

You raise a compelling point about personal responsibility and the concept of victimhood. In any complex conflict like this, it's crucial to examine evidence and understand the intricate dynamics at play. It's challenging to pinpoint responsibility, especially when multiple parties are involved and have their own agendas.

Your comment about autodetermination for both sides strikes me as particularly important. While many focus on assigning blame, it might be more productive to put our energies into finding sustainable solutions that respect the autodetermination of all parties involved. After all, perpetual cycles of blame rarely contribute to meaningful resolution.
