I don't really think of terrorism as any different from war, I certainly don't think of it as being 'worse' or 'better', there was no difference between 9/11 and us bombing Germany

I can respect that. At least it’s honest and consistent.

I have many issues with Israel and its treatment of Palestinians over the years but their reaction to the 6th, that I understand

It is easy. That’s our privilege. And it’s also the job of people outside the conflict and without bias to be the voices of reason. What we’re seeing now is people turning on and trying to condemn/discredit voices of reason because those people want blood and won’t tolerate anyone who tries to stand in their way.
Is that understandable? Sure. That doesn’t mean it should go without criticism or be celebrated.
