Comments by "SmallSpoonBrigade" (@SmallSpoonBrigade) on "Hamas Is Underground So Why Is Israel Leveling Gaza Buildings?" video.
I think it's pretty clear what's going on. The Israelis are murdering random civilians in retribution, having created this apartheid state where other options are off the table. Really, both sides are engaged in some pretty disgusting actions, but only one side has the ability to stop escalating it and let the whole thing cool down. (Clearly the Israelis, but you wouldn't expect those war criminals to admit it)

Just to the people in power. Some of us think that both Hamas and the Israelis government are a bunch of horrible people doing horrible things. The difference is that unlike Hamas, the Israelis have the ability to stop escalating this and let things calm down. I doubt very much that Hamas would have popular support if the Israelis would stop murdering innocent civilians and blocking relief from the embargoed areas.

@condatis6175 No, it just wasn't a war crime at the time, as war crime is a legal construct. In an ideal world, that would never have been acceptable. But, Sun Tzu was right that pillaged supplies count twice as much as the supplies you bring yourself. Which is something that the Israelis do in terms of stealing Palestinian resources and then profiting off them while doing their best to prevent any sort of economic development of the strip.
