I do understand that people tend to feel more inclined to side with the "weak part" of a fight. But being the weak part does not mean being in the right.
Both sides of a conflict can be wrong, even if someone is imposing their wrong on the others by a stronger use of force.
But I know how Hamas would masacrate Israeli civilians if given the chance and I cannot support that.
We need to thing a third way, different to what both sides are currently proposing and trying to do.
I think figures like Gandhi or MLK showed how to fight oppression without going into blatant murder and Jihad.
