I concur. Frankly, they're both a bunch of terrorists.

Tragically, one side had been receiving all kinds of war support for generations now and it's incredibly imbalanced.

I just don't understand how genocide can be a goal...

This is why people are saying Israel and the US created this crisis, because we've spent generations militarizing an apartheid state that subjugates and abuses Palestinians. Israel wanted to strengthen Hamas as a way to undermine the strength of a Palestinian state in Gaza:

those who want to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state should support the strengthening of Hamas and the transfer of money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy - to differentiate between the Palestinians in Gaza and the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria.

Israel and the Western Allies have intentionally fed the flames of this conflict in order to consolidate power in the middle east.

I completely agree.

See that’s what I don’t get Israel created Hamas but nobody seems to acknowledge that. Decades of mistreatment bombings of course they’re going to eventually fight back.

This is only confusing if you (like most) assume western media is truly independent and impartial.

"never again" really meant "not us"

Taking an anti-genocide slogan used by Jews across the world and deriding it as hypocritical because one specific country of Jews is full of right wing shit bags... That's uh... that's something, anyway.
