And let’s not forget why it happened. You and Ian can quote decades of oppression La, La La.

But you know it was orchestrated because of the Abraham accords, the normalisation of relations between Israel and other Middle Eastern nations, especially Saudi Arabia ( that has no interest in continuing hostilities, they are for economic advancement not medieval religious bullshit.

Iran could see the direction of travel and acted.

The Palestinians are expendable to Iran and Qatar and Hamas, they’re happy to see them die.

The IDF/Israel care more for their lives than Hamas do.

To trot out this argument, implies deep naivety, bordering on ignorance, as to why Oct 7th really happened.

Neither does the fact that other countries are happy to sacrifice Palestinians as pawns justify a genocide. If Iran and Qatar are pulling the strings they should pay the price. Hope that helps.

And no, it doesn’t require centring Israeli suffering in the narrative to justify one.
