What really is the point of that article? That we should still feel sorry for the Israelis?
Because of the Holocaust? Because of a victim mentality?
Great, well they can just go and kill whoever they want then. Makes perfect sense.
That argument has been rolled out to apologize for continuous war crimes time and time again, but lets flip it.
Over the past 70 years, Palestinians have been utterly, utterly demonised, to the point (as made in the article) that an Israeli sees them as lower than them, and the west conflates them with extremism.
On top of that, the continuous arrests, illegal land grabs, killings and other illegal actitvites Israel carries out leads to a continuous victimisation of the young.
So its perfectly fair, and should be understandable to us all why Hamas still uses rockets, as its the Israelis fault. They bring it on themselves, after all.
Israel should be demonised, for whatever excuse you want to use for their actions, the actions are still illegal, disproportionate and indiscriminate, perpetuating their own atrocity, because 'An eye for an eye' is inherently part of their belief structure, even if that second eye is not the one who damaged theirs in the first place.
