Dude, you are freaking me out.

Indeed.

Option. Both.
Option. People of both, gubbinsment of neither.
Option. Don’t know, and not really sufficiently well informed enough to claim any position.
Option. Palestinians, Israelis, not Hamas.

It’s rather like those surveys for just about anything- they seem only interested in answers that may validate their own opinions and bias, rather than actually getting a better insight into something they may have misunderstood.

I completely agree. The absence of the 'Both' option speaks volumes.

Humanity is everywhere divided tribally, but opposing groups always look like this

Black and white hats on both sides. And a lot of greys.

I would support no more threads on this topic.

I support the one who will successfully ban the distressing Israel / Hamas videos popping up on video games that kids play with on phones & tablets, for a start.
Distressing shit shown right in the face of kids while playing all around the world, several times per game.

The kids. I'm for the kids.
No option for that ^^

i think Israel did it

It does not matter who you support and what you think. It matters what is the truth!!

I’d like to say I support the innocent, but there is now (with understandable reason) such vehement hatred among the entire populations that I can’t support anyone. This type of hatred is so toxic I don’t believe it can ever be undone.

There was already hatred and disdain. It’s far far far worse now.

It’s the worst of human nature.

Seriously. That's something I can support.

I can neither support state terrorism as seen perpetrated by Israel's government nor plain old terrorism as seen perpetrated by Hamas. I don't see any easy way to break the vicious cycle of violence either.

These threads on the merits of each side of the conflict is similar -- trying to bolster who is right in there view - it doesn't end.
