You write like an American, without a historical perspective. October 7 did not happen because Palestinians got on the wrong foot one day and decided to hate Jews.

There is a tremendous cultural difference between modern Israel and the Palestinians kept in their misery. Israelis keep Palestinians from joining the civilized world. Freed from Israel’s oppression, Palestinians would become affluent and influential. Then, with money or force, they would take back the real estate that Israelis took from them.

I wrote the essay on the subject, which you can read right here on Medium: “When genocide seems to be the only rational option.”
