34. I don't know why it is so hard for some to condemn the atrocities committed by Hamas AND the IDF at the same time.

It is well documented that both sides have committed at least some atrocities during and since October 7. There is no justification for these acts.

Efforts should be made to bring the perpetrators to justice regardless of what side they're on.
