I like this place, but a lot of the people here are falling into the same trap it fell into after 9/11, viewing a truly fucked up war through a dichotomous cultural lens that filters and only creates contrast favorable to one side.

It’s a pity that we can’t have something appropriate like a cage match battle royale between Hamas leadership and Israeli hard right leadership, to continue until there are no survivors.

But that’s not how things work. In reality, Bibi and his war hawks do all that they can to provoke Palestinian terrorism, in order to “justify” retaliation. And Palestinian leadership happily cooperates.
