Both sides are at fault. Who is "more" at fault is a pointless debate.
A good question however is, what to do with two warring parties that are both at fault in different ways? ...and a question I have no valuable input on.

We should not take sides for human rights violations.
Both sides should be prosecuted and held responsible. Just like ICC is doing.
Israel has violated the principle of proportionality and has more responsibilities as it is occupying state.

There are more than two sides, that's what's causing this cognitive dissonance. It's not pro-Palestine vs pro-Isreal, it's pro-Netanyahu and pro-Hamas. That makes it much easier to realize that people can & should be both anti-Netanyahu and anti-Hamas.

Holy shit. You never know about people.
And now logically everybody who strongly disagrees is the enemy, or self hating Jews, and wants to kill all Jews and end Israel. Neatly black and white.
This is the banality of evil Hannah Arendt wrote about. Just like Eichmann, Scott is not a fanatic or a sociopath, but instead an average and mundane person who stops thinking when it really matters.

all their neighbors are enemies, yup, just thinking this way is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
the unspoken elephant in the room is that you have a religion based on the idea that your people are special. that god did not make all humans equal. no shit it causes problems. like if white supremacy were a religion it would be ok? even if israel chilled out and wasnt genocidal, the whole concept is corrupt
