    Seriously. Two things can be true at the same time. Hamas is a piece of shit terrorist organization that needs to go, and what they recently did was absolutely horrific. AND Israel’s aggressive bombing campaign is hurting civilians and like the US did after 9/11, is radicalizing people and helping terrorists to recruit.

    We’ve seen this story play out over and over. The only thing that’s changed is an increasing amount of bodies being thrown into the meat grinder.

      Since 911 and the aggressive actions of the US, terrorist actions have been significantly decreased particularly ‘exported’ terrorist actively. By every indication, there has been far less effective radicalization of people and far less terrorist actively since 911. Is that because of American aggressive actions? That I can not say but it certainly does not appear to have made things worse. Why do you think there has been an increase?

      That’s far too complicated though. It’s much easier if you stick to a goodies v baddies narrative.
