.I’m not ignoring anything I just happen to think that you have decided that Netanyahu is worse than Hamas. And he probably is right now because he is filled with the same sort of irrational zealotry and anger that saw nazis commit appalling atrocities on civilian populations that resulted or fought them But you appear to be getting a little carried away as well as making assumptions about my state of mind. How you can draw a conclusion that I am flattering myself by insulting someone with a different view beats me first I wondered why you raised the issue of forgiveness when I certainly did not mention it and secondly I expressed my view that your perspective is a little narrow neither of those comments suggest I find your views confronting, or that I have any particular view of myself or involve an insult so you are either thin skinned, think you are the only one who is right or you are incapable of taking a long tail view of the situation or understanding the complexity I happen to think that whatever one thinks of Netanyahu and his actions what he is doing is unhinged and likely to repeat - albeit differently - the problems that occurred when Israel pursued the PLO and fed movements that included HAMAS/the moslem brotherhood. Zealotry and pride on both parts has prevented any rational settlement and distrust runs deep on both parts. Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of hundreds of thousands of Arabs living around us,’’ Dayan declared in his eulogy. (For a settler murdered and mutilated while patrolling the perimeter of a kibbutz) “This is our life’s choice—to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down but Hamas and before that the PLO and other neighbouring Arab states have hardly been blameless and the ghetto like treatment of Gaza has arisen because they have never accepted the partition. Distrust has run so deep between the different parties that a truce, peace or settlement has never been achieved.

@Parsifal ; what you're NOT alert to is the sheer scale of human suffering of Palestinian civilians - 2,300,000 of them in what's left of Gaza. You appear to think its balanced to talk of the slaughter of 120 Israelis by Hamas and the incarceration of another 200 of them versus the slaughter of 28,000 known Palestinian civilians, 150 journalists, 100 UN staff and countless medicos as well as the annihilation of their schools, hospitals, medical centres, homes and mosques. To quote US President Joe Biden, what Netanyahu's regime is doing is "... over the top ..." and to pretend otherwise could be seen as malicious propaganda.
