Don’t fall into the trap of ‘picking sides’ over Gaza: Hamas’s attacks were unconscionable, razing Gaza to the ground would be abhorrent. In both cases, basic humanity is at stake --- [Opinion] (www.prospectmagazine.co.uk)

Way to miss the point (not only of OP, but also to prove you didn't read the articles I linked so missed the points they make too, as well as to ignore the fact that I literally listed the Israeli government first of those responsible).

Reactionaries be reactioning I guess...

It's one thing to miss the point and another to disagree. I am with the latter. Close to the end of this article it says:

I’m grateful for leaders who don’t feel the need to take sides.

I don't see how something like this can be fair to the oppressed, no matter who you think they are.
The way I see things in this conflict too, it is worth looking at the power imbalance. I never support the colonisers.

Btw I never claimed to have read your articles, I am talking about this post's argument and your comment. I was just saying your comment missed the historical background.
