Speaking to someone earlier who is usually very balanced in her views.
She thinks that everything that is happening and has happened in the last 50 years is all the fault of Palestine - losing land? “They should stop starting wars they cannot win”, the current moving out of homes “that’s to protect them from being bombed” etc. - with no separation between Hamas and Palestine, Palestine and Hamas and that the current ‘approach’ from Israel is proportionate.
I figured the conversation was going nowhere productive so moved the topic on but was surprised at the strength/passion of the views expressed by someone I’d thought was a lefty passivist.
