In the wake of all the coverage of the Israel/Gaza war—especially the scorched-earth tactics that Israel has adopted throughout it—it’s easy to forget that Hamas were the ones who started the war in the first place, attacking from the south (if I recall correctly), killing an inordinate number of civilians in the process. Because Israel—geographically, economically, and militarily—is the bigger and stronger of the two sides by far, and because of its continued persecution of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, I cannot in good conscience call myself pro-Israel.
