What is Reddit's opinion of The 51 Day War: Ruin and Resistance in Gaza?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> Native Americans also killed many civilians after they had been colonized, exterminated and driven to desperation by European settlers. Would you call them terrorists, or would you recognize that the root of the violence and the true evil was the European settler colonialism?

If the Native Americans were killing civilians and not military as revenge then yes, that is terrorism.

> The complete and total blockade by air, land and sea still constitutes occupation, according to the UN.

We can continue talking about the legitimacy of the situation but I want to know your opinion on how Israel should handle Hamas targeting it's civilians.

> This is propaganda you have been indoctrinated with and if you did your own independent research you would realize it is not true.

He radically shifts the discussion around a number of highly contentious issues: the use of civilians as human shields by Israeli forces, the arbitrary targeting of Palestinian civilians, and the radicalization of Israeli public officials and top military personnel. Amid the rubble of Gaza’s border regions, Blumenthal recorded the testimonies from scores of residents, documenting potential war crimes committed by the Israeli armed forces while carefully examining the military doctrine that led to them.

i never passed beyond the intro since it was terrible biased, he went to Gaza to talk about Israel interview people that told that they were just there in the combat zones with the explosion around them and when the Israeli forces evacuated them out of the combat zone they were human shields...dammed if you leaved in danger dammed if you evacuated them out of danger...and in there is where he mention the soldiers that spoke arabic and the evil solders that moved them around...
