    the bad guy

    Why does there have to be a singular “the” bad guy?

    And why the need to lump a huge group together to lay that blame?

    The Israeli government and Hamas both share the blame for all of this, among others.

    As is too common in the world, while a relatively small group deserves the blame, many more, on both sides, suffer the consequences.

      Because one side is attempting genocide. That makes them the bad guy, regardless of whatever they claim Hamas did to them. Claiming Hamas is as bad as the Israeli government is the same as claiming the Jews were equally at fault with the Nazis.

        Hamas’s goal is explicitly to genocide Israel. They just don’t have the resources.
