Hmm. I donât follow the foreign news enough. Some mistakes Iâve seen: 1. Itâs not only Netanyahuâs war. Most of Israel supports it. The security cabinet included the opposition till recently. And even though itâs been disbanded recently thatâs not because the opposition feels we need to stop fighting Hamas. 2. Itâs nuts that the far left supports the extreme far right, extremist Muslim terrorists. Gays for Palestine is utterly insane when the only place a gay person can be fully free in the Middle East is Israel. 3. There are only 2 sides in this war. Most critics of Israel completely ignore the reality Israel is in and who weâre fighting. 4. Just ceasefire and stop the fighting. I wish that could happen. Stop all terrorism. Release the hostages. Letâs put an end to it. Israel gains nothing from war. But Hamas wonât stop. 5. Even when we reach a ceasefire it will be temporary. With Hamas in power the fighting will renew within a few years.

6. âGenocideâ. Israel could wipe out Gaza overnight if it wanted. It does everything in its power to stop civilian deaths. What Hamas wants to do to Israel is genocide. What Israel is doing is self defence. 7. Lastly, anyone else in this position would probably do 10x worse. Imagine 1200 Americans being murdered and 240 being held captive. And then people seeing America as the bad guy for defending itself from these murderers. Itâs insane. Being the stronger side doesnât mean youâre in the wrong. Thereâs a double standard against Israel. Like israel is the worldâs biggest problem. When all we want is to live in peace and security without terrorism.

Also on the genocide point. The number constantly quoted is 35000. With no mention of terrorist deaths. Around 15,000 of which are terrorists. Which is actually an extremely low ratio of civilian to combatant deaths. Especially as Hamas fight from civilian areas. Around 1.5:1 civilian to terrorist death rate. But this is almost entirely ignored. Especially by the genocide crowd. Thereâs also some major holes in the 35k number from Hamas. UN verified 25k. And even those verified names included a lot of false data. Now clearly a lot of Gazans have died. But the exact numbers being spouted are likely off by quite a bit.
