This is what blows my mind about this situation. The tribal mentality has gotten so overwhelming as of late that people can’t even point to a conflict with two monsters fighting and just outright say that they’re both bad and not representative of everyone. On one side, people claim that Hamas literally is all Palestinians because “they elected them” despite that election being 20 years ago and Israel controlling all operations. On the other side, the Israeli government is somehow not just representative of all Jews in Israel but also all Jews globally despite Jews living all over with no ties to Israel.
It’s crazy and it’s the perfect storm for both sides to dehumanize each other and turn into martyrs and zealots. It will take a lot for anyone to get back to even the beginnings of empathy so long as people have religious motivations for their feelings and feel, not just justified, but righteous because of their beliefs.
