Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”

Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.

In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.

    Those are horrific as well, but it’s simply not true that the IDF roams around Palestinian villages murdering every Palestinian they find, and you know that.

    For starters, if they did, there wouldn’t be very many left.

    This childish need to see one side as unequivocally good and the other bad must be discarded or people find themselves cheering for citizens to murdered while waiting for the bus, and if you’ve gotten to that point, something has gone deeply wrong.
