64. I know most Palestinians *are* civilians, and Not Hamas...

But some civilians support Hamas.

And what was Israel supposed to do? I condemn the extreme warring Netanyahoo has done/is doing.

I would have preferred much more ?covert operations of IDF soldiers going after the caches, and groups of Hamas in the tunnels, under hospitals etc instead of massive bombing!

But from their pov that would have endangered too many IDF. Obviously we've seen some of them as well acting in very rouge ways!

I support Israel's right to exist since Jews have lived in that area for millenia, but I can also reject some of their actions as well in regards to the Palestinians.
It's not always easy having sympathy in certain situations for both groups.
