Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

I agree Israel's response so far seems disproportionate, but I know how our country would respond if similarly attacked, and I recall the situation in that region seemed relatively stable until Oct. 7.

I hate to say it, but everything from Oct. 7 on seems to be playing right into Hamas' hands from a PR standpoint.

It’s because they did this on purpose. The plan was always to kill as many as possible as horrific as possible and as quickly as possible…. Then run and hide behind the Palestinian people…. To draw Israel into a war in which they end up looking like they want to kill Palestinians only. They want to kill Israel in the eyes of public perception because they have no way of beating them on a battlefield. The only people who don’t see this, are people who don’t want to.
