Making out as if both need equal condemning (although they need condemning nonetheless) is equivalent to giving a bully the same punishment as the victim who fights back.

If the victim fighting back is a punch to the face, I’d completely agree. But this victim fought back with excessive force and I can’t ignore that either. I do agree that Isreal made their own bed. I’ve been yelling for years that all Israel is doing is recruiting more hamas members.
