This seems to be some sort of mentality some people have online. Somehow when one side commits atrocities, the other side magically are in the right.
A lot of people view morality like a cartoon. There's the bad guys who do bad stuff for the sake of being bad, and there's the good guys who are infallible and can do wrong in stopping the bad guys. Its also the source of a lot of psychotic takes you see on crime

Its such a black and white way of thinking. I refuse to believe people actually think issues in the world are that simple.

Edit: also they are not outright banned by international law I believe. I see so many reports conflicting on this.

I wonder if that's why they wanted Saddam Hussein prosecuted in Iraq specifically. Prosecuting him on the international stage would set precedent for US presidents...

Uhh. I don't condone Hamas at all for the shit they pulled over the weekend or any attack that wasn't in self defense and killing civilians, but they were created because of Israel taking away Palestinian land and oppressing them.

The Israeli government started it and continues to two shady shit, but Hamas isn't making the situation any better by targeting civilians and kidnapping and straight up murdering them. And now both sides are suffering.

I wonder how Palestinians that aren't associated with Hamas, feel about Hamas.

Hamas and its tactics have broad public support in Gaza and moderate support from Palestinians in the West Bank.

Unfortunately those disclaimers are about as accurate as x itself is nowadays which is to say not overly trustworthy.

While I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Israel used white phosphorus? I'll wait for better reporting.

Russia is trying to turn an independant country into their puppet state and use it to get a military foothold to invade other european countries and do the same to them and become a proper superpower again.

The conflict in Israel is a group of genocidal terrorists thrashing about due to their inhuman treatment by nation that already has near full control of the land said group operates on and will enact retalitory vengeance solely on said group.

Once again I really recommend to only rely on real news sources. Posts from random twitter users aren't news sources.

This thread once again shows how dangerous social media is and how it can be used to affect people prone to believing either fake news or at least incomplete news.

This conflict is definitely complex. There's no excuse for the abhorrent events that took place last weekend. On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that palestine civilians should be protected under the same international laws as well. What I try to say is, that there simply is no "good side" and "bad side". It is a conflict of which I really don't know how anyone can solve it in a way both sides can agree with. Naturally, those abhorrent things Hamas did needs to be investigated, condemned and punished. But Hamas =/= palestine civilisation. So if Israel were to attack palestine civilians as a reaction of what happened, they wouldn't be any better than what Hamas did to their citizens.
But yeah... it's really difficult. There's a lot of hate for each other coming from both sides, and I have no clue what could be done to solve that conflict.

The first step is equal rights for Palestinians, until that happens nothing is ever going to change. Israel will just keep creating extremists otherwise.

That sounds good in theory, but again, this is a conflict by them over land, identity, et cetera. This can't just be solved by bureaucrats on a sheet of paper by "giving them equal rights".
It needs to be solved by those two sides, in collaboration with other nations around them and affected by them.

Yes but as long as Gaza is an open air prison literally nothing is going to be accomplished. Step one has got to be Israel taking their boot off the neck of Palestinians. I literally see absolutely no way forward without that being the first step. The thing is though that Israel under their authoritarian right wing government will never do that and their political system is such a mess that I don't see more reasonable people getting into power.

The underlined part is indeed a problem. I fear they use the barbaric attack by Hamas as an excuse to attack all Palestinians, which would be equally bad as I've already said.

In all honesty, I have admit:
I'm not an expert of what happened there historically speaking. I know, what I know, from what I read on reliable news channels. But as far as I can tell, there's simply no black/white side. Several events in the past have led to the situation we have today and as long as they don't find a common ground and start negotiating, nothing will change.

It is definitely a different situation than Russias invasion of Ukraine, since Ukraine is an independent country and acknowledged by all countries around the globe. There's a clear aggressor (Russia) and a clear victim (Ukraine). That's what makes it so difficult for foreigners like us to grasp what's going on in Gaza. The Hamas attack was utterly barbaric, no excuses. But on the same time, if Israel responds in a similar way, by attacking random palestinians, the spiral of hate and bloodshed continues and nothing changes.

That's my fear.

White phosphorous is legal to use as smokescreens or as a means of nighttime illumination (the video in OP looks to be the latter). WP just cannot be used offensively as an incendiary weapon under international law and conventions of war.
