9. I notice that Israel was blamed for attacking Palestinians instead of Hamas.

So, then Israel attacked Hamas and now they're being blamed for that, too.

I'm not a fan of Netanyahu, but exactly what is Israel allowed to do? I think taking out the leader of Hamas was a reasonable approach.

Or is Israel just supposed to let Iran annihilate them? Would that assuage the guilt of Americans who can't deal with the fact that our nation is built on genocide and slavery? That's our problem. Let's not project.
