I'm neither 'woke' nor 'leftist', but by all means, keep trying to put the world into neat little labelled boxes that are easier for you to understand.

War is hell and those who initiate wars create hell. Those = terrorists.
When one 'country' declares war on another country, that is what happens - it's called collateral damage.
Where are the condemnations of Hamas and Palestinians using hospitals and schools to shield themselves from righteous attacks?
How many people were killed in Hiroshima?
How many people were killed in Germany when the Allies carpet bombed the country to get rid of the Nazis?
Re WWII - The Allies policy of bombing Germany from shortly after the US entry into the war included deliberate destruction of German civilian accommodation in order to destroy civilan morale. It included the deliberate use of incendaries to that end. The firestorms that resulted killed many thousands by suffocation, but the policy was a failure in that German industrial production continued to increase right up to the spring of 1945.
CP Snow wrote an insider's account. I haven't tried to find the reference, but CP Snow would be a good start.
Ahh, so Balance recognises Palestine as a State now do we!
Funny that when neither Israel, or the US, or NZ or Australia, or France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Singapore, on & on etc, recognise Palestine as a Country or State.
Palestine does not even have its own army, so how can a Country which doesn't exist declare war on another country?
You talk about Hamas hiding like rats in Gaza & using civilians as shields, but they live in Gaza, where do you expect them to be?
And can't seem to thinks laterally enough & apply the same logic to Israeli Army personal who when they home to their families take their weapons and store them under their beds always ready to fight. Are they not therefore also using civilians as human shields?
You talk about the 10 Palestinian children per day having limbs amputated often without anaesthetic, because of Israel's indiscriminate bombing are just collateral damage,
Of Cemeteries & graves being deliberately bulldozed by the IDF as collateral damage
Of young children & grandmothers with children waving white flags trying to move to safety being shot by IDF
Of International Press journalists being deliberately shot by the IDF
Of literally hundreds of thousands of starving freezing children.
Where's your humanity?
Can I please ask you & others a simple request, to watch Al Jazeera on free to air TV Channel 20, or go on X formally Twitter & enter Gaza in the search box, just watch some of the images if you don't trust the commentary.
Because our MSM thinks the images are too upsetting too shocking for our viewers or they didn't want to see them & will switch channels, sort of a commercially based censorship.
That's Al Jazeera Channel 20 on your TV. And if you're worried its going to be propaganda, turn the sound off & just watch the images. It might just alter your opinions.
There's lots of other informed commentary but that's a very easy accessible one for anyone with a TV.
Or search Gaza on X /Twitter on your iPad/device
