1. It should be possible to do things simultaneously. We can condemn Hamas' assault and its heinous acts against Israeli civilians while also not forgetting Israel has been a perpetrator of an often brutal occupation against the Palestinian people.
2. Yes, it's fair to describe what happened in Israel as its 9/11. But what that analogy tells us is that Israel should *not* replicate the mistakes, the zeal for war, the civil rights abuses, and utter destruction that the US exacted in the Middle East in its response.
3. I get that people are angry but I don't get people who go on Twitter right after a tragedy and talk about the Palestinians as animals, as lacking basic morality, without any knowledge of anything about a conflict they couldn't be bothered to care about until now.
4. This goes without saying so what's the point of saying it? This is why I didn't issue condemnations of terror attacks committed by Muslims when it was the fashionable thing to do. No one should doubt I'm against terrorism. It's on them if they doubt it.

5. This is absolutely right. Where we are now reflects "a massive political and moral failure by the US, EU, and wider international community."

6. The United States is not an innocent bystander. The Biden administration has allowed this conflict to fester, ignoring Palestinians and what was happening in Gaza in the name of a quixotic Trumpian effort to broker a peace deal between Israeli and Saudi Arabia.
