I really hate the phrase both sides, because conservatives use it overwhelmingly and incorrectly (as a false equivalency) to justify the bad behavior of their side and try to gaslight that the left is just as bad (and that's easily disproven).That's easy to say when you consider anything criticizing Israel's abhorrent actions to be pro-Hamas. And I don't mean you as in you, yourself, but the collective conservative side who are trying to demonize anyone supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza (not Hamas) as they are in a battle for what amounts to basic human rights as we speak.
The truth is that Israel is doing some terrible shit and justifying it by claiming self-defense. Not sure how many innocent lives need to be taken before this stops being justified as self-defense, though...
However in this specific conflict, I would make the both sides argument and it's truly the citizens who suffer here regardless of their religious affiliation.
