They are both terrible, but the thing is that Israel has a positive connection to Western governments and the Palestinians don't. So when Hamas kills civilians it's jihad and terror and when Israel does it, it gets handwaved or even supported.

Our media is not unbiased, no matter how much they tell you and are trying to uphold the illusion of factual correctness. We simply live on the other side of the narrative and if that is challenged, it's called "misinformation". Anyone thinking there is a right and a wrong side here is either a moron or has a personal stake like family or friends in the region.

The conflict in that area will never end without secularism and the chance of that happening is zero. It's one cut of religious fanaticism versus another.
