I’m appalled at the lack of balanced comments in here. Acknowledging the humanity of the people on both sides. That both deserve to live in peace. That both have suffered deaths and injuries from the other side. That both can claim the other side has committed war crimes.

Demonizing one side is neither rational, moral, nor conducive to resolving the situation.

don't be surprised, the Israeli Palestine conflict is team sports for people worldwide from social-economic background where football or soccer is considered banal

No war is good, and starting an urban war you are obviously going to lose, and executing it over two years among an incredibly dense population is barbaric.

I'm quite frankly quite appalled at the amount of apologists in this thread.

The war has lasted over 70 years.

Nope. Wars end. They always have. The Israeli war of independence is done. Just because you were on the losing side does not give you the perpetual right to attack Israel.

This is very basic stuff.

When did the Israeli invasion of Palestine end?
