People taking sides is largely what is perpetuating this conflict. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are killing innocent civilians - neither side in the conflict is worth supporting. My heart goes out to the common Palestinian and the common Israeli living in the region trying to raise a family or live in peace. These people are not participants in the conflict nor are they a distinct "side" for a bystander to take but my support is with them (whatever it's worth).
