Don't bomb civilians. Don't bomb Palestinians. Don't bomb Israelis. Don't kill children. Don't kill. Don't kidnap people.
Is that hard? I mean sure the world might be more complicated but regardless of that the above seems like a very consistent and simple starting point of an opinion? It seems easier to start with "don't bomb people" as a starting point than "don't bomb some people" as a starting point.
Things that should be relatively non controversial:
There's no simple solution.
Palestinian civilians is not equal to Hamas.
Hamas is a terror organisation
Israel army is currently exercising too much violence on Palestinians
Israel clearly has the military advantage.
More vague points:
That puts most of the responsibility of how the situation develops in Israel hands. They can't change the minds of the Palestinians. But they have the power to minimise total harm. They should be able to keep a lower rate of casualties on the Palestinian side without significantly increasing casualties on the Israeli side? No?
