A lot of younger progressives who previously couldn't locate Gaza on a globe are now walking around shouting "Free Palestine" and "From the River to the Sea." What they don't realize is that Hamas, along with Iran and Russia, have very robust social media presences that are most likely feeding information to them. When confronted with other information - such as "Hamas doesn't really care about the Palestinian civilians" - they get angry and deny things.

There are no "white hats" or "black hats" in this situation. Both the Israeli government and Hamas have committed atrocities. They are in a death spiral, and most of the deaths are of Palestinian civilians. There is very little that Americans can do about this. Biden can call for a cease-fire until he's blue in the face, and Netanyahu will give him the finger.
