There's a reason this topic gets flagged off the front page relentlessly, and it has something to do with the fact that even a comment that begins with the sentiment "I largely agree with you" elicits a full-page response complete with citations to "isitgenocide.com" and the Wikipedia page for the Nakba. This isn't curious conversation; it isn't even conversation. Be introspective for a second: do you feel like you're trying to have a conversation with me?

Some see things like this [0] and chalk it off as cost of war or whatever, and are not outraged or worse justify it, but they can't demand the same of others.

Agree. Due to the conflict's very public nature, the narratives have deep-seated irreconcilable differences mixed with a good dose of racism/supremacism/moralism, while the moderate voices are the most feeble, because they're also outnumbered [1].

Pay attention to "circumstances" which don't look different from how a terrorist outfit operates; here's one such recent occurrence: https://twitter.com/MatanGolanPhoto/status/17665864005587395...
This "war" reeks of barbaric assault not on militants that can barely counter a modern military, but civilians who have no protection.
