    I mean hamas is barbaric but I don’t understand what do these Israelis expect? You can’t imprison/displace millions of people without expecting any backlash? I’m I crazy to think like this?

      I think both sets of civilians have the right to expect a life free of military oppression and terror, largely uninvolved with the actions of those in charge.

      it’s deeply infuriating and heartbreaking each time I see stories about a given military organisation taking it out on people just living their lives, from Ukraine to Russia to China to Palestine to Israel and so on: innocent civilians dying (or worse) because of the decisions of military forces & their leash holders.

        A constant problem is either an apathetic or even active citizenry supporting those perpetuating the butchery. They either don’t see it as their problem or see a schadenfreude like glee in seeing those they deem “subhuman” or unworthy of respect being treated like scum.

        Terrorist attacks won’t fix that… but I can see how the downtrodden might see it as just desserts for people who help keep them oppressed.

      Not crazy, but you seem to be applying empathy selectively. The victims deserve being remembered and respected (I’m not specifying a side on purpose). Your comment, though factually correct, lacks basic human decency. You’re basically reacting with a “told you so” to the terrible description of a massacre of young people trying to feel alive.
