The terror campaigns of Israel since 1948 piled up and led to current reaction from Palestinian citizens.
Hamas's campaign was a response to Israeli war crimes that went on for about 80 years,
I agree with you, both sides should cease their attacks on civilians immediatlty. But I should stress that pouring gas on the turmoil doesn't help; actually it increases hate, grudge and stress leading to the inclusion of civilians in the struggle.
This is an Israeli woman speaking about experience with Hamas:
So many Israelies and Jews -from Israel and around the world- don't like what their government is doing in Gaza.
You think one terrorist having an attack of conscience exonerates Hamas from slaughtering civilians?
