If it wasn’t for where this was posted, I wouldn’t have been able to decrypt which side you think have done the worst atrocities.
I guess I’m a liberal by western standards and I think the acts by Hamas and the acts by Israeli armed forces are both crimes against everything good in the world and I see no point in comparing them. Israel and the UN bears the responsibility for the conflict to begin with, but that turns into a non issue as soon as innocent civilians gets hurt.
Colonial settlers stealing land from indigenous populations and participating in ethnic cleansing are NOT "innocent civilians". They are free to leave the war zone they created anytime they like. For Palestinians, this is homeland defense.
