I have zero problems criticising the shitty Israeli government. There were mass protests by their own people for a lot of the same reasons as I have, so why would I?

I have to say tho, it's also not easy to ignore their point that they are not the ones using civilians as meat-shields and hospitals as military bases, which has been confirmed at least in one, very significant case.

The hard truth is that the situation is way past the point of a peaceful resolution. It's both parties fault and it's bad, but that's how it is. My only hope is that with international pressure (including Germany's btw.) the two-states solution will finally be seen through. Israel already stated they do not want to permanently occupy Gaza, so I guess that's a start.

I do judge them for not giving civilians more time to evacuate and not providing them with more supplies tho. With the amount of soldiers at their disposal this should totally be a possibility. If it isn't, they can ask others to help with that or something else.
