Either you be;over in Israel’s right to exist, or you do not. This is a fundamental question. If you do, it’s possible to discuss Israel’s actions in the context of, they live in the midst of an area where everyone wants to kill them, and how should they respond?

If you don’t believe in Israel’s right to exist, there’s no point in having a further conversation.

You're putting words in my mouth.

Plenty of people, Jews and non-Jews agree with my point of view.

The human rights community that would normally highlight atrocities against women has been bizarrely silent. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, a former member on the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, told Haaretz, “I knew right away that sexual violence was part of the events of Oct. 7, but obviously, I could not have known the extent of the cruelty that Hamas engaged in. .... Unlike any previous incidents of ‘conflict-related sexual violence,’ as the U.N. calls it, the Hamas terrorists had body cameras and they filmed their actions. They broadcast it both to the families of the victims and on social media, so the horrific footage emerged right away.”
