I appreciate your context but not really sure what it adds. I know who all the players are and I know how many left-leaning Americans and secular Jews feel about religious people, I think you are presenting a very one sided view of things, but that's not really relevant. I was interested in what johnnyworker was really trying to say, as it's not really coherent at the moment.
- tptacek 3y agoMy interpretation of their subtext: that you may believe Gaza is/was ruled by Hamas, but it doesn't count, because Netanyahu's governing coalition found Hamas preferable to the PA, to the point where they arranged some amount of funding for Hamas. Thus, in reality, the governing authority of Gaza was Israel. (I do not buy into this narrative). I'm only adding this because you said you didn't know what I was trying to add before. It's totally reasonable to want 'johnnyworker to just tell you in their own words what they're trying to say.

- johnnyworker 3y agoHow is that not civil? And if someone says "it seems you're excusing killing Jews", I actually do have to respond to that. You see problem with one and not the other, that's noted.
