I am getting close to giving a more detailed assessment on Israel/Hamas, as it drags on.

And it will probably be Nostr-only since other platforms can’t handle it. It is too polarized. Everyone is tunnel-visioned.

My husband is currently in Cairo dealing with some property work we are doing for our extended family. They are only 250 miles from the problem, and Egypt’s acute currency crisis brings it closer to home if military or refugee shit hits the fan. Most of my extended family is geopolitically or financially close to the Israel/Gaza issue and is Muslim. I am thus both close and far from the issue. And I grew up in the US in a diverse region with Jewish and Muslim peers, but more-so Jewish overall.

Suffice to say, I don’t want civilians on either side to suffer or die. I am pro-humanity first and foremost.

Before I give my eventual analysis, I am happy to see Nostr comments on the issue. What are your thoughts and questions on the topic? What would you like to see addressed from a diverse or as non-biased source as possible?

I'm curious to hear your assessment. My questions would be:

1) What do you make of the conflation of support for Palestinians with support for Hamas, and any criticism of Israel as antisemitism?

2) Whether you agree with Saif's assessment that what Israel is doing now is cynically trying to create a humanitarian disaster such that other nations have to take the 2.2 million Gazans as refugees.

3) How do you see the competing property rights claims?

4) If Israel to a large extent created their own boogeyman in Hamas?

5) What are your thoughts on the US govt's role in all of this and their support of Israel?

6) Why is it that those who seemingly can't fight themselves are the quickest to advocate mass killing?
