‘First to commend you Sidey for a detailed and principled stand which reflects a well informed and humble attitude.’
Because you agree with it. There’s barely anything about the inhumanity towards Palestinian civilians in any of his lengthy posts. It’s not a balanced view. Any fool can see that. It’s ironic how you are both quick to jump on the flag wavers and protesters, of which I’m not one, but celebrate each others position. I find it an uncomfortable read. Just my opinion.
I have said more than once that it’s bleak and sad, precisely because Palestinians are dying, as well as Oct 7th. Please don’t slander. My point is that it’s complex and there are no easy solutions. Saying Israel has the right to defend itself and take out threats, like any other nation would (with far less objections) is my point. Hamas don’t care or want a ceasefire, they have repeatedly broken them and say they would do again and again. Is the only solution that Israel just accepts their civilians should be subjected to pogroms? People say they can and should be able to look after that, since Oct 7 came after a massive bit of negligence from Netanyahu’s government. Well, they can always do that and lock down the borders more. Then the same people accuse them of blockading Gaza. They can’t win.
