5. The Problem Is The Posture Of Humanitarian Concern

When what is actually pressed for is partisan advantage in the contest of propagandas.

Hamas committed an act of war; Israel is replying in kind, and has a great deal more capability in that line.

Best not to have attacked in the first place.

Stupid to think baiting your stronger foe into a red rage was a good idea.

Not one bomb would have dropped on Gaza, not one person there killed or maimed, if not for the spree of sadistic murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping Hamas decided to indulge its fanatics in on October 7th last year.

That's a flat fact. The discomfort this causes some is not a refutation of it. A good thirty or forty thousands of people would be today going about their lives, save for that stubborn fact.

What has Hamas achieved that is worth those lives?
