Hamas wanted to start a regional war, and didn’t think that the US would have a musclur response. But the US did, and for now the cork is in the Lebanon bottle. Now geniuses like this think that’s the wrong way to go.
I feel like you didn’t read the opinion piece at all, and just ran with your feelings from the title. In the first two paragraphs the author talks about how I agreed with the strong initial response to the terrorist attack. It’s the wonton targeting of civilians and looking the other way as language of genocide is being used that the author, and every else that I know that isn’t blindly pro one side or the other takes.
I’ve seen the secondary explosions of Hamas tunnels hit right next to the Gaza hospital. I’ve seen Hamas reports of commanders dieing from Israeli bombs near Rahfa. Maybe what the author calls “wonton targeting” isn’t exactly true all the time. Maybe he’s confused about where Hamas likes to hang out. Maybe he doesn’t understand that the US forced Israel to turn up Gaza’s internet yesterday. Since he doesn’t understand the geopolitics, probably doesn’t understand that either.
