There is no justification for the attacks by Hamas into Israel, but the same applies to the murder of Labib Dumaidi, a Palestinian killed in Israeli settler attack on the West Bank town of Huwara.
I hate it how this discussion has become a binary one for many.
I disagree with how Israel has been taking more and more Palestinian land in the West Bank. I do not like how it seems that settlers there can kill Palestinians and get away with it.
I also disagree with the way that Palestinians treat their own people. If you are Muslim or Christian and are Israeli, you have more rights than the Palestinian authorities give Palestinians! Women's rights in Gaza have been restricted since Hamas took control. Being straight is essentially the only option if you are Palestinian.
Murdering civilians because of the deaths of civilians on your own is just collective punishment and neither side should be carrying this out.
I pray that this can be resolved in a just manner, but considering the hatred on both sides, I doubt it.
