Such disingenuous, dishonest, pearl clutching - if not just outright channeling of propaganda - ignores, oh let’s say, Arab-Palestinian refusal to allow the Israeli state to live in peace, to even propose an equitable peace plan, let alone just sign up to the ones that were presented. Decades of hostage taking - a war crime - suicide bombings, random knife and gun attacks in Israeli cities, war declared on Israel on 1948, 1967 and 1973, not to mention two millennia of antisemitism.

Your moral admonishment of Israel allows the Palestinians to be absolved of any agency, the typical stance of a bigotry of low expectations, that having withdrawn from Gaza, Israel should just ignore the indiscriminate bombing of its people, the failure of the UN to keep Hezbollah to the terms of the ceasefire, the transformation of Gaza into a military base of operations from which to attack Israel.

You never seemingly once seem to reflect that ham ass surrendering and returning the hostages would end the war. You present a stance swathed in the concern of morality but it’s the same old racist bullshit that’s happy to see Jewish people die but immediately refuse the reality of warfare. Ham ass - the only genocidal actor in the region (not counting Hezbollah) - started this, they chose violence - again. They started this, they could end this - this is all on them, or more accurately, their billionaire managers in Qatar and Iran.

Sorry if Israel and Israelis don’t just let themselves be slaughtered like in the good old days. It’s weasels like you who would have appeased the Third Reich and you don’t even have the courage of your convictions to admit why, passing it off in the grotesque inversion of Arab-coloniser aggression becoming victimhood. For all your moral grandstanding you’re just another useful idiot.
