During Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver addressed the ongoing violence in the Gaza Strip and discouraged the tendency to take “both sides” Oliver said Israeli airstrikes on civilian buildings in the Gaza Strip 'sure seem like a war crime' and blasted Israel for using disproportionate force.
Oliver also brought up the Israel Defense Force turning a bombed building in Gaza into a before and after meme online. “In general, you should probably never meme a war crime,” said Oliver. “They’ve been living under a suffocating blockade for 14 years, and in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, Palestinians are essentially being governed by a form of apartheid—an assessment echoed by both international and Israeli human rights groups,” Oliver said.
“Life in Gaza is hard even when they’re not being bombed, and the U.S. government has implicitly co-signed on the brutally hard line Israel’s been taking.”
The Daily Show host Trevor Noah also spoke about recent events in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, asking "when you have this much power, what is your responsibility?” “No matter how much you try and break it down, people are always going to say that you’re leaving out some crucial piece of context. And you know what? You’re probably right,” Noah said. Instead, Noah posed a different question: “If you are in a fight where the other person cannot beat you, how hard should you retaliate when they try to hurt you?”

Интеллектуальную умеренно-левую Haaretz и большую часть(процентов 30 минимум) ивритоязычного твиттера цитировать не буду. Они у вас проходят как "сволочь"
Но вот откровенно правая The Jerusalem Post:
Israel is winning battles, Hamas is winning the war - analysis
In recent days, Jews and Arabs across Israel have gone out to the streets prepared for violence. Jewish extremist groups called on people across the country to go out and confront any Arabs they came across. Some of these groups also threatened to attack the media. While these Jewish groups portrayed themselves as protecting Jewish civilians, in many cases they were groups of hooligans simply looking to take out their anger on random Arabs. One case in particular in Bat Yam shook the country, as Jewish youth ripped an Arab passerby out of a car and began to beat him mercilessly. In Jerusalem and the West Bank, rioters have clashed with security forces on a nightly basis in recent days in support of Gaza. Along the borders with Lebanon and Jordan, protesters attempted to break through the border fence. In Lebanon, what seemed to be a Palestinian terror group even launched three rockets towards Israel. ON THURSDAY, Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas’s Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, expressed the uniqueness of the current situation well, stating: “What distinguishes this battle is the solidarity of our people in all arenas and their clash with the occupation.” Hamas has achieved what it has called for in statement after statement in recent years: unity through hatred. It has united communities from Lebanon, Jordan, the West Bank and even Israel in fear and in rage against the State of Israel. In the meantime, Israel stands divided, torn by political strife, instability and infighting.
But there are those attempting to lower the flames. Joint Jewish-Arab demonstrations have called for coexistence and peace. Municipal officials from all sectors released joint statements calling for residents to calm the situation and avoid violence. There are many reasons to hope. But despite the best efforts of activists, city officials and security forces, violence is still ravaging the streets of Israel. Enraged Arabs and Jews are clashing, with the terms “civil war” and “pogrom” thrown around by civilians living with the uncertainty of an unprecedented situation.
So yes, the IDF is registering great achievements in Operation Guardians of the Walls, but meanwhile the house appears to be collapsing from within. Israel is winning battles for sure, but Hamas seems to be winning the war. In just a week, Hamas succeeded in igniting a civil conflict between Jews and Arabs within Israeli territory and sparking one of the largest conflicts with Gaza in recent years.
