The Israeli leader signaled Sunday he would only agree to a "partial" cease-fire in Gaza, drawing criticism from hostage families that he had walked back from a U.S.-supported deal.
There are thousands of children dead, refugee camps bombed, hospitals sieged, civilians tortured and most recently a civilian strapped to a car and taken for a spin.
This does not need to fit into a left right template to be seen for what it is, a land grab. Another one.
Palestinians have a right to exist and place to exist.
Hey I’m a liberal, I’m not trying to make some left-right argument. But what I see, there’s a section of the far left that looks at any situation, determines who is disadvantaged, and takes their side. No matter what.
If Hamas cared about their civilian population, they would have come to the table already and given Israel what they want (full surrender of all Hamas fighters and leaders, return of all hostages). But they don’t care. Hamas does not deserve any sympathy or leeway here. Not excusing the brutal tactics of Israel either. But the fact is, they see this as a war and children dying as collateral damage in pursuit of victory.
We should be admonishing both sides, but recognizing that Hamas has the ability to end the death and are unwilling to surrender completely
