His theory is either wrong or incomplete because I went the other direction. For 7 years I had nothing in common with progressives, then the reaction to this situation in Israel was the first time in ages where they made sense to me again.

He can only hold the opinion he has by pretending Israel has been nice to Palestine and Palestine out of the blue based on raw hate with no reason for that hate decided to murder innocent people because they fundamentally have a death based ideology.

If he spent a day really talking to Palestinians he would hear a very different perspective. If he spent time in the West Bank then I think his illusions about what Israel is doing would fall away.

The insanely abused lashed out against what they see as the abuser. Horrible that innocent people were caught up in that. But he has no sense of perspective.

That's my opinion. I hope not to anger anyone with that opinion. I respect your right to disagree

Both sides craft a narrative that places all the blame on the other side. I think the blame is a giant mess on both sides.

If one side sees (or imagines) a tiger in a cage poked at and shot through the ankles, having poked his paw out to claw blood from his captor, those onlookers cheering such violence can be understood. It is not that surprising that people will cheer when the little guy gets a punch in, even if you abhor all the fighting. It doesn't require any fucked up ideology.

"The Little Guy" -> An army of organized terrorists funded by a vast array of anti-Israel forces from around the world who dominate the UN, academia, and the global media.

"A Punch" -> The carefully planned indiscriminate slaughter and barbaric torture of innocent woman, children, and families in their homes minding their own business.

You are right that it is not surprising to see the cheering. It is, however, disgusting, disturbing, and terrifying. They cheered when the towers fell too. And though they may not have cheered as the ovens fired, there was an awful lot of smug satisfaction.
