I understand I was too snide in the past in my own response, but this is really wearying. I wasn’t trying to be high and mighty, I was making a reflection where I understood my past conduct should have been better.
Like I say, I get that what is going on is tragic for all involved. I get that many will feel emotional over it, and not all are the bad actors. What I think is that it is Hamas who bears a lot of the blame for forcing a war and now breaking a ceasefire. I don’t like the idea of Israel targeting the south without plans for civilians; the evacuations from the north made sense for this, but now what? Egypt should take them in too, so they need some blame here. It was Hamas who started the conflict with their evil, Israel had no choice but to respond for their own safety and we would have done the same, as would all other nations.
Disagree with me, fine. Like I said, I was too dismissive of some concerns over the situation from you, and others. I accept that, but my major point above was to essentially admit that I had made errors in how I responded and reacted. Ultimately neither of us are going to make a difference, so I don’t see the need for terse exchanges. It’s a difference of opinion, we can’t agree on everything, and both of us recognise that the situation is a tragedy and horrible.
