   I saw a little of this at Shul yesterday. At kiddush a guy in his 70s who sometimes wears a "Thank You IDF" tshirt around town was trying to make the case that all Gazans are not on the hook for Hamas' actions and the death toll is getting too high to ignore (my words not his but that's the sentiment).

   Another "younger" guy maybe late 40s early 50s took an opposite position but that soft middle is showing.

     @dukepaaron Someone mentioned “Christians being killed in Gaza by IDF at a church” and my thoughts on that was exactly what I think about most of the victims in Gaza. Israel made clear their intentions and gave instructions globally. They went to great lengths and made sacrifices to attempt to evacuate civilians from the battlefield. Strangely, no one brings up deaths in Gaza makes any mention of Hamas’ responsibility to protect their citizens. Somehow, it’s always Israel to blame.
