    But what aboutā€¦.

    Yes we know that Hamas is awful, evil, etc. That doesnā€™t give a moral pass to do just whatever to people who arenā€™t Hamas.

      Youā€™re right. Both sides are awful, and neither side gets a pass. Both sides have been accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes by the ICC.

      That said, neither side has been accused of genocide by the ICC. The difference between ā€œgenocideā€ and ā€œcrimes against humanityā€ is very important to some (for good reason), but not very important to others (also for good reason).
