I also recall Israel taking part in wanton destruction, using white phosphorus in some bombardments.
Today I see Hamas using Iranian rockets to antagonize Israel. Then Israel, noting that every other power nearby is distracted (Syria in civil war, Egypt turning inward, Iran in a recession), decides to pound Hamas into the ground, religiously-backed politics included.
I don't like this pattern. It seems like either side lives to abuse the other.
Israelis and Palestinian echo chambers grow ever louder.
There is mutual consent between Hamas and Israel it seems in carrying on past policies and perhaps making them even more brutal.
I fear it will take a new generation of Israelis, just like during the 1990s, who grew up with war and who are sick and tired of war and therefor will restart the peacprocess.
Untill then I dont see much hope with Netanyahu and Hamas being the dominant Palestinian faction.
