I think Palestinians are very much conceived as the victims today world wide. And I think they are playing that card well and I don’t blame them for that.
I didn’t want to go to “who started it” because it’s a useless debate. The cycle has been going for decades with casualties on both ends.
I’m very much capable of empathy. This whole thread is about the Israel Hamas war so I steered the discussion back to that topic.
I am very sad about the current state of affairs, there’s immense suffering on both ends and it’s not going to stop anytime soon. I don’t hate Palestinians. As an expat Israeli, every time I see a Palestinian abroad we usually become friends and naturally have more in common.
