Whether the one or the other is worse is more a rethorical problem to me than anything else.

If I ask myself "Does Hamas intend to kill civilians?" the answer is "Yes, they do."

If I ask myself "Does Israel intend to kill civilians?" the answer is "No, they don't."

But, if I ask myself "Does Israel intend to NOT kill civilians?" the answer is "No, they do not intend to not kill civilians."

So neither part intends to NOT kill civilians and as long as both sides are fully aware that this is the direct cause of their actions whose "worse" is impossible to decide without taking sides in the conflict and thereby involving more emotions into the whole thing.

That is the LAST thing the international community should do if we want this thing to end as soon as possible!
