Many US supporters of Israel and Palestine fail to admit suffering of other side: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/29/us-support-divided-israel-palestine-gaza-war

I do not want to try to compare the gravity of HAMAS's war crimes with the gravity of Israel's war crimes. But we can easily see that Israel commits fresh war crimes every day, while HAMAS does not.
