It’s terrible what happened to Israelis and a reaction is understandable. But they’re doing the same and more to equally innocent people on the other side. I’m no expert in that conflict, but no side seems to be in the right here.
One side is oppressed. While the other is the oppressor. So not totally equal or complicated
Not complicated???
