...and this is what bothers me about some of these critics. Finding fault with Israel's approach to the Palestinians in Gaza isn't hating Israel; it's hating indiscriminate tactics against a population for no other reason than they're Palestinians. Anyone with an ounce of morality knows, and will say, what happened on October 7th was despicable and heinous, but the response was disproportion, wrong, inhumane, and not befitting of a country we choose to support. Calling out Israel isn't "hating" Israel, and I don't think I'm alone in rejecting that characterization.

No government, and no person, is above criticism.
