> an unacceptable humanitarian tragedy that is a reaction to an unacceptable attack.

I think this is important to reiterate. Because forces us to pay close attention to the details. There are extremely reasonable justifications for both sides because both sides have committed atrocities. This conflict goes a long way back and I'm in no position to claim who started it. But I can recognize that one atrocity does not justify another. I can recognize that justifying or dismissing the committing of an atrocity only further enables the conflict. Whichever side you land on, if you do not take a highly nuanced approach you are only further enabling conflict. For that's a key reason the conflict continues today. War always includes psychological warfare because you have to convince humans to do the inhumane. There is no such thing as a righteous war.

   War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
   There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

There has never nor ever will be justification on the side of an occupying force to fight back against armed resistance against oppression on stolen land.

Ever.

And yet all countries are built on this anyway
