When one side has committed such vast amounts of resources towards villainy, comparatively, it tends to make the other guys look better.
Have you even heard of Yasser Arafat or the history of the region? It's like you kids just tuned in to the latest episode and made your decisions about who the bad and good are. All, EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR of Hamas resources go to rockets to shoot at schools and towards their own goals of ethnic cleansing. But you weren't being told to be outraged for the last 6 decades, so you didn't give a fuck till Instagram told you to.
Even if I say there are no good guys in charge in this conflict, I get dowvoted. Because you can't accept that Hamas is bad, you just can't.
We did, but let's hear your explanation.
Correction: Every single dollar of Hamas's resources goes to rockets that force Israel to spend ridiculous amounts of money to stop them. They can also be used in saturation to deal more serious damage to Israel's economy, as they are right now by forcing evacuations for some one hundred thousand people. Now it's not pretty, but you won't be taken seriously if you don't acknowledge the reason they're launching these rockets.
do you really think that Hamas would stop launching rockets if Israel stopped intercepting them?
I mean if they stopped intercepting them they'd have more direct military uses so no?
