At any war, there are sponsors, but that's already within the realm of politics and diplomatic relations. I'm sure that there are no innocents on either side.
However, in any war crime, there's an aggressor, the one who started the war with weapons in hand. In this case, the aggressor is Arab militants who have been committing terrorist acts for decades against the Jewish people. My opponents in this debate are trying to whitewash and justify them. They don't want to accept the fact that Jews also have the right to sovereignty and to protect their interests.
