Do you think people that say things like "Israelis are not a people" are evil?

If so, you might find there are a lot of evil people around in these parts.

    There can in fact be many evil people and sometimes they turn against each other. Not every conflict has a right and wrong side, sometimes it's all wrong

    Yup, the trick is to not get pulled into the hatred. A lot of people have gotten sucked into it and direct hatred towards anyone they see as "evil" and therefore not people. And the number of people targeted by that hatred keeps on growing.

    Yes, which is why in any conflict that has been ongoing this long, it's critical to look at the structural balance of power. When one side has fighter planes and missiles and tanks and the backing of the largest military, and the other has small arms and homemade unguided rockets, the equivalency of their rhetoric is not as important as their ability to act on it.
