Well before this war, there were numerous international laws being broken and crimes against humanity. The one that's always bothered me the most was when Israel would claim more territory and then claim the Palestinians had built illegal settlements. One time, my cousin's parents were taking me to pick up my cousin from his military base and I saw Israeli tanks driving at high speed through house after house in what looked like a poor suburb behind a large fence.
I asked if they were running drills and I was told, "no, the Palestinians had to leave their homes while the land was under dispute, so our government is making sure they don't have homes to return to." That was the first time I began to understand why my aunt cried when "PeePee" Netanyahu was elected.
