I find the video a really uncomfortable watch to be honest. The attacks of last week by Hamas were utterly horrific and cannot be excused in any way but I do not support what Israel has started by way of retaliation and I greatly fear what they are planning to do next.
Jets fully loaded with dumb bombs and what appears to be a campaign to flatten Gaza City is not a good look.
I really do not like the way that Western nations are blindly and predictably supporting Israel and effectively giving them Carte Blanche to do whatever they like. If ever there was a time to urge restraint and try to get round a table to find some sort of peaceful resolution this would seem to be it.
Increasingly, to me, Israel feel like a friend that you go to the pub with every Friday and they keep starting fights. Sooner or later you feel you should suggest to them that maybe there is a better way to enjoy a Friday night.
Maybe my view will be an unpopular one but I’m open to be educated if anyone feels that necessary. Just don’t resort to name calling or condescension.

Bob,
I'm very much in agreement with your sentiments here.
Russia bombing the sh*t out of Ukrainian civilians is, of course, widely condemned. Israel doing similar to Palestinian civilians seems somewhat less so by those in power in the Western world.
