I look at the state of the world after Trump was elected and it seems like no-holds-barred has become more of a thing. Trump said he wanted to use the US Army to shoot people at the border, to use them for Martial Law during the George Floyd riots. He said it out loud and the world was listening.

What Hamas has done is terrorism. As details filter through (I don't watch hours of this, it is too awful) clearly civilians were the target. I still don't stand with Israel, but I do support the civilians, especially those who were pushing back against the treatment of the Israeli judiciary and the treatment of Palestinians. Just because the Israeli government has done this doesn't mean Hamas should also do it, but in a tit-for-tat world they are showing Israelis what life is like in the Palestinian territories all of the time. The whole population of those ghettos are in a way hostages, subjected to the whims of the ultra-right political parties.

Putin has to love that all eyes are off of what was that place? Oh, yes - Ukraine. It gives him more freedom to continue his brutality.

Trump is a symptom, not the reason - it has been coming for a long time, as various politicians think they can outsmart the systems in place to get what they want and control everyone else.

I suppose if Iran is giving all of these weapons to Hamas they won't have as many for Russia.
