You'll judge me for willfully admitting I don't have a solution, but it's not my job to have one. I'm just some guy in another country. But I'd rather have this view than supporting an evil government oppressing people or an evil government taking kids hostage.

Yes, it's terrible when settlers use children as human shields. They should be condemned for bringing children to their settler occupation.

It's not your job to have a solution, it's your job to support the actually existing resistance to colonial occupation and to speak up for them against the relentless propaganda campaign to demonize them as baby beheading rapists. By equally condemning both sides you are implicitly siding with the oppressors.
