Israeli security forces delivered 300 liters of diesel fuel to Shifa Hospital in Gaza early Sunday morning and later received intelligence indicating that Hamas had intercepted the delivery, according to a Sunday night IDF statement.

The scary thing is that Israel also has a direct and clear interest in wiping out/exiling all palestinians. It’s the only way they can reasonably have access to all of what they say is their promised land. It would be ignorant of the circumstances and ignorant of history to not take this into account: Israel’s actions since its establishment have shown overwhelming disdain for the Palestinian people’s existence and to that end they have committed similar atrocities to Hamas, but with orders of magnitude more victims.
You’re leaving out the part where all of Israel’s neighbors attacked them when the country was founded. Don’t make it seem like Israel started all this shit as soon as they showed up. Part of the problem here is that Palestinians aren’t completely innocent victims—they’ve hated Jews since long before Israel was a country.
None of that justifies Israel’s war crimes, but people advocating for the Palestinians tend to portray them as completely innocent victims of Israel’s aggression, when the truth is that they have been supporting Hamas for a long time. Sadly, there aren’t really any “good” sides in this war.
