Idk if this is a hot take, but imo the war in Ukraine is pretty clear city while the Palestinian and Israeli conflict his an infinite list of wrinkles and nuances.
It's far less controversial to say the former is Russia's fault than it is to say the latter is either Palestine's or Israel's fault.
Palestinian conflict is very simple: an army vs civilians. Only gonna end when all the latter are dead.
Should we ever try to sanction that army? Never! Should we try sanctioning US for killing million iraqis who had not a WMD? No! Should we sanction Nato for bombing the wealthiest african estate libya to it's ruin? Ah wait, WE are Nato. Can't shoot own ankle.
Hamas is a militia. They don't have an airforce and whatever else is required to be a military.
I'd urge you to compare the casualties caused by each of the "armies". Hamas is not even a fraction of the concern that Israel is.
Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say, I will not entertain that. I am happy to respond to any arguments you make or answer any questions otherwise.
