    What are they supposed to take as a balanced perspective?

    There is no satire in “Hamas is a terrorist group that concluded terrible attacks on Civillians.” Everyone knows that already. There is nothing to satirize.

    But the West claiming Israel would make an effort to protect human life and not be deep into commiting heinous warcrimes, that is something to satirize. It is a mainstream talking point that falls apart when looked at a bit deeper and satire is among the nicest angles to do that still.

    The proper angle would be for the signatories to the ICC statute to sanction the US and Israel, end all support and hand over all individuals suspect of having commited warcrimes to the ICC, respectively put out warrants on them and see to arrest them if they ever step inside their countries.
