Unlike you I do not believe every Palestinian is a terrorist whose only purpose in life is to kill Jews. I believe the number of Palestinians who wake up every day intent on going out and murdering Jews is infinitesimally small. I believe Israel’s response to Oct 7 is a gigantic overreaction, so much so that it seems to be purposeful. Zionists have made no secret of their intent to drive out the indigenous people who were standing in the way of their sacred vision, and Oct 7 gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it. My concern has always been about the Palestinians who just want to be free from Zionist tyranny but who recognize they have no power to do anything about it, and so they have accepted their fate as best they can. I do not harbor any fantasy about the people in Gaza & the West Bank ever breaking free from Israel, and have no interest in Hamas or any other terrorist group that only exacerbate their condition. That is why I didn’t know who Sinwar was.
