This is an advance version of my Grassroots column for The Progressive Populist. It was a difficult one to write, because it focuses on Israeli atrocities and cuts the core of what I was taught about Israel growing up. The Israeli government is corrupt, and its war against Gaza is a war against civilians, no matter what Netanyahu or much of the Israeli public believes.
Do not assume that I am absolving Hamas for its crimes against humanity, but I can’t allow that crime to justify the massive destruction of Gaza and the cleansing of the strip of its people.
