“Defending yourself” is not a justification for the murder of 34,000 innocent civilians. There are no “Yeah but…” explanations for this. We can condemn Hamas’ horrific actions AND we can condemn the IDF and Netanyahu for their barbaric atrocities - these are not mutually exclusive sentiments.

But you don’t get to say that “We’re defending ourselves” by justifying the killing of children. Ever. There’s subtext here: that some of you don’t think they should “exist” the same way some of them think you shouldn’t. You may say “Oh, but *I* am the persecuted one here!

” Yet, It’s an unwinnable and untenable situation. No one “wins” here, and never will. The history of religious and cultural conflict dictates this.

I’m surprised some folks aren’t choking themselves by all of this pearl-clutching.

Thank you for writing this. It is a nuanced thing and you've got it right. The whole situation is horrible. Bibi's gotta go.
