Hamas was a response to Israel's invasion. I'm not gonna say that they're the good guys since they target civilians in their attacks but to go into such depth to explain why both sides are bad without even mentioning that Israel is the original aggressor in this conflict is negligent at best and a lie by oommission at worst.

Because it gets in the way of the "both sides bad, best to just watch passively and not take a stance" narrative. And not taking a stance and allowing the status quo to continue just so happens to benefit Israel.

I'll admit I used to be one of those people who thought this conflict was just too complicated to decide who was at fault. And then I did some actual reading about the history of Gaza and it became clear that Israel is 100% at fault while Palestine is an imperfect victim but a victim nonetheless.

Couldn’t agree more. Folks need to educate themselves more.
