17 days agoConsider this: When kid A breaks an action figure of kid B and kid B then pulls the hair of kid A you still make kid A apologize first as they started it.
If however kid B proceeds to gang up on kid A, stab them, pee on them while they’re lying in the ground bleeding and then start running off with a gas can and lighter promising to burn kid As house down, … Well, then you fucking stop kid B and call child protection services to get that kid some serious help.
I know this might not be a perfect metaphor, but I’m so tired of pretending Israel is purely a victim defending themselves. They’ve gone past retribution a long time ago.
Seems like “drain the swamp” turned into “put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest”
