I’m not ok with anything that happened on Oct 7 or after.


Nothing about this war is “ok”. Unless you think it would’ve been ok for us to do nothing, and risk no innocent deaths in Afghanistan by simply not responding to 9/11, confirming Bin Laden’s “paper tiger” labels, I’m not real sure what Israeli response would be ok.

In 2001, if we’d been unlucky enough to have to root AQ out of an enclave of 2 mil people crammed into an area about the size of Detroit, we’d still have responded. And almost certainly seen far more “collateral damage” than we saw in specific examples of it over the years. I don’t know that any of us would’ve been ok with them, but I think most of us would have seen no other choice.
