 But conflict has three sides. Hamas, state of Israel and inoncent civilians on both sides of border!

When israel or hamas kill some civilians, steal their property,… they create hate. 
 What is your point? Some people should die and others not? Both sides feel justified hating the other. Pointing out the perspective of one side isn't offering anything useful. Explaining why one side hates the other won't change anything. Me having feelings that one side is more virtuous than the other only plays into the hands of the people that created this conflict. Step back and look behind you, because that is where the enemy is lurking. 
 My point is there are three sides, not two. One side is inoncent civilians which are murdered by other two sides. Gazan civilian murdered by isral or israel civilian murdered by hamas are for me same side. 
 The only innocents were under the age of 3, on any side.
