@darnell @violetmadder @randahl What they *would* do and what they *should* do are two separate things. I think they’ve done exactly what people expected, possibly a little heavier on the war crimes.
But there’s no point in trying to answer the “should” question, given the long history of mutual antipathy and aggression in the region. The Israeli gov’t should’t be committing genocidal acts. Hamas shouldn’t have attacked civilians. Israel shouldn’t have created an apartheid state. Arab TV shouldn’t broadcast hate speech towards Jews. And so on, back through the decades.
Wouldn’t it be nice if people could just get along.
