One might note that the general opinion at the start was very much “both sides” on Lemmy. Until people woke up to the fact that Israel doesn’t seem to think Hamas members and Palestinians are different things.
I do, actually, in a literal sense see some people pointing out that “both sides,” i.e. that Hamas also committed a monstrous crime (which they did). E.g.:
Both sides pick shitty leadership. Both sides are constantly fucking with the other side in a deadly game. However, one side is grossly overpowered relative to the other and is constantly stealing land while committing apartheid.
Yeah, they’re both assholes. Just one’s a shitload stronger and never ever stops fucking with the little guy.
IDK, I can maybe see the case that as Hamas’s crime faded further and further into the background it stopped being part of the conversation whereas it had been before. But there’s an overwhelming consensus even in that early thread that the main thing is Israel should stop killing innocent people and stealing land.

Hm… I looked over this thread.
