We’re supporting Israel. We’re easily their most indispensable ally.


A tragedy in Gaza, in which Israel has used more bombs in a week than did we in Afghanistan during any 12 month period of the 2 decade war (that was another point in the piece I linked - the interviewee was rather hard on Israel while dispassionately explaining why the aftermath at the hospital was not consistent with an Israeli airstrike), reflects on us, in many people’s views. So they kneejerk to revulsion at the notion that we might have been behind a massive civilian casualty event.

For many of us, we kneejerk to revulsion regardless of blame assignment. That’s what Tommy’s complaining about? I think most Israelis have a similar reaction. I don’t see anything to complain about. It’s what differentiates “our side” from “theirs”. Imo, it’s a clear distinction from those protesters here and around the world who cheered Hamas’ barbarity like “Argentina celebrating their World Cup win”, as one witness I saw to Times Square protests reported. Regardless of one’s thoughts about the plight of Palestinians, that reaction is morally bankrupt.
