But Israel has gone far, far beyond that. They are starving and murdering the Palestinian people and calling it an attack on Hamas. This is more than collateral damage. If you think this is all about killing Hamas and you know they hide among the populace, then clearly you see, extermination of all in Gaza is part of Netanyahu's plan. And that is how it is being justified. No matter what title you give it, it has the same effect as genocide. I don't understand all the subtleties of US strategic need for Israel as an ally. But we need to do something different, because what we're doing now isn't working and we are going to be blamed for it. Biden is going to be blamed for it.
