I feel like this war started with a war crime by Hamas. Even if we say Israel is committing war crimes in retaliation, then don't we just have two sides doing the same thing to each other? Does it make a difference that one side is more powerful?

Plus look at how we fight wars. Fuck, we killed something like 100,000 people and left a million homeless in ONE night firebombing Tokyo. And its not like this was a one time thing. But now we're going to get all moral?
