Israel-Gaza war (user search)

After a hiking weekend off, I completely missed this and just saw it like an a few hours ago. Usually it's needless to point out, but as a Muslim I feel like I have to, that this was a barbaric attack. It's on full display now how depraved and morally rotten to the core the Hamas is.

Israel has a right to exist and such acts of war won't accomplish any of their intended goals and just cause more bloodshed on both sides. Does Isreal bear some responsibility for the entire, decade-long conflict? Sure. Do they treat Palastinans as 2nd class citizens? Pretty much, though I dislike the term "authoritarian apardheid state" because it's factually not true. Hamas meanwhile is a terrorist organization that spends all its budget on missles and weapons instead of ordinary people in Gaza and elsewhere.

Where to go from here? It's difficult say, especially when Hezbollah and Iran get involved as well. As of now, substantial talks are probably impossible and both sides will try to reach their goals through excessive force. That said, I'm not even sure there's the will on either side, especially Hamas is not really interested in a peaceful solution. The people of Israel might in large parts (at least before the attack), though the currently ruling govt. under Bibi wasn't the best option for that. Instead, it was consumed with inner affairs and caused severe divisions within in Israel. It's no secret the fact this attack could be carried out in this way shows the security apparatus is weakened for homemade reasons.
