Its warcriminals fighting warcriminals, change my mind.

The only thing I can say is that both have no problem with harming combatants and civilians alike, but one side is disproportionately killing civilians with the resources at their disposal (Israel) just because they can.

I'm not convinced that Hamas wouldn't do the same if the tables were turned, but one side needs to be better if we're ever to see an end to this conflict.

Yeah. Hamas doesn't have any moral high ground, but the one that needs to be restrained at this moment in time is Israel.

People are also more eager to criticise Israel because Hamas is just a terrorist organisation and they hold Israel to a higher standard.

I guess the Israeli government isn't happy about being treated as more than a terrorist organisation?
