Israel is fighting for its life. You're not going to see a lot of half measures. Because of its stance that Israel should not exist, if Hamas wins there will be no Israel. However, Israel has never taken the position that a Palestinian state should not exist and has tried on multiple occaisons to help create one.
Channel 12 sent one of their primetime anchors into Gaza. 3 minutes into the video he walks through a biology classroom, steps outside a door and shows the munitions depot in the room nextdoor. No need to understand Arabic or Hebrew.
