    Incorrect about the Israeli territory expansion - Gaza borders have not changed since 2005 at least. That is definitely an huge issue of contention in the west bank (I totally agree that Israel is out of line there, although many of the activities are in the gray area due to various legal issues complicating the land ownership definitions). The “creeping” settlements have all been there (same location and size) for 50 years or more. For example, Re’em (the kibbutz that hosted the music festival) was founded in 1949.

    And it’s well documented that Hamas fires rockets from public buildings:

    Also, you put “music festivals” in italics as though that is some extreme example of… what?

      Since 2005! Basically forever!

      And yet another genius thinks it’s gotta be either/or. You can blame them both. Two war crimes don’t make a right. Firing rockets is bad, actually - but so is blowing up the entire god-damn apartment building, because someone fired rockets from it.

      This should not have to be explained to any sane adult.
