Like many here, I'm on the side of civilians - of any ethnicity.

The overwhelming majority of civilians in Gaza did not elect Hamas (happened before half of them were born) and it feels disingenuous to call them an elected government.

Nevertheless yes, I expect everyone in this conflict to care about these civilians a lot more than most of the combatants do. Expecting people to act humanely isn't unreasonable.

It's not at all "incredible" that we are against the starvation of children.
