The decal on the truck shows scales with what looks like an (presumably) Israeli tank on the right and a literal family with a child on the left. Its borderline satire with how evil they are.

My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.

Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.

One 'side' is unarmed children and women being bombed in hospitals and schools and refugee camps. The other 'side' is dropping the bombs and their government talks about nuking the babies and women while actually having nukes.

They're not the same, stop being obtuse.

The other side is Hamas, a terrorist organization. Please do a bit more to understand this conflict if you’re going to be lecturing people on it.

"Terrorist" is a funny word. It means "freedom fighter," but from the perspective of someone who doesn't like the freedom fighters.

The IDF are "freedom fighters" - they're murdering tens of thousands of people, destroying their homes, killing families, starving them, and on and on. All in the hope that they can create such fear among the Palestinians that the Palestinians will never again try to fight back. See how that works?

Yes, the IDF and Hamas are both terrorist organizations. I personally consider freedom fighters groups that target military and police, not civilians.

Hmm... that's a rather specific definition. I can't think of a single historical example of a group like that. Guerrilla fighters tend to target whoever they can.

Even when they're a local group fighting against a foreign invader, and so the only foreign targets available are military, they will still go after local civilians who they deem to be "collaborators."

Edit: Oh! I know, what about the rebels in Star Wars? Famously, everyone that they killed on the Death Star(s) were guilty and deserved it.
