Eli Lake says “elites” insist that “Palestinian terrorism is a legitimate protest against Palestinian dispossession”. Maybe the protests are actually over Israel’s deployment of 2000lb bombs and 155mm artillery shells against civilian populations. Latest example: 27 dead after aerial bombing and tank attacks to go after, as even Israel admitted, “one Hamas terrorist hiding in the civilian population”. It might not be genocide (it lacks the necessary intent) but it’s clearly a war crime. Time to stop this madness: it benefits only Hamas (which doesn’t care about civilians and will not be wiped out) AND Bibi (who doesn’t want a ceasefire since it would expose him to elections and the reality that his whole strategy for the past ten years is an abject failure).

Have you worked in that area of the world? Your approach will simply ensure never ending bloodshed. If the Palestinian People wanted to end this they could end it very quickly.
