    It’s more understandable when you listen to the Jewish arguments about needing to protect themselves against people who want to kill them, they see themselves as being inside the walls and defending themselves so they see their actions as justifiable because the alternative is another genocide.

    It’s hard because neither side is entirely right or wrong, Hamas is a terrorist organisation that gets help from other terrorist organisations - the thousands of missiles they fired over the last few days didn’t come from nowhere, we can’t deny that Iran is a repressive and brutal regime that would love to see all Jewish people dead for religious reasons, just like they hate gay people, women, and so many other groups.

    That of course isn’t to say there aren’t awfull racist Jewish people who hate Muslims, but Israel as a nation is starting to work well with many Arab nations such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The country has a lot of problems but is doing a lot of good things in the region also, and it’s doing them working with many Arabs and Arab nations. They see themselves as trying to be good people and they know if they tore down their walls then they’d be massacred, it is understandable how they justify looking the other way when the IDF are brutal or their government makes questionable choices.
