Israel has allowed civilian aid in, does "knocking" to reduce deaths from their bombing, supplied the water Palestine was using to begin with, etc. so when Hamas fighters have literally been robbing the civilians of the food aid, it rings a bit hollow.

It's weird that you want to ignore how we ended up with the current borders to begin with (let's just ignore the war that was started, then lost), ignore the peace deals they signed and reneged on, the intifadas, etc. in this analysis.

Please make your substantive points without swipes.

  • That's fair, I will try to do better, but this is a hard one to discuss neutrally. There's a huge mess, it has long been a huge mess, and a lot of people want to focus on only half of the story.

    • Yes, and everyone has a different half of the story that they want to focus on, and a lot of the time we struggle to include, or even acknowledge, the other "halves".

      I know it's extremely difficult. But it's work that we all have to do together if we want our community to survive.
