- Authors
Kampmark, Binoy
- Abstract
The article discusses the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel, highlighting the shock and horror experienced by both sides. It acknowledges that while Hamas may not be an ideal governing body for the Palestinian cause, their retaliatory actions against Israeli power were inevitable. The violence is seen as a result of exhausted options and a government facing opposition from its own citizens. The article also explores the ongoing debate surrounding violence and its justifications, with various world leaders condemning the attacks. It addresses the allegations of apartheid and colonial oppression against Israel, which are often met with accusations of antisemitism. The article concludes by noting the shared tendency of the United States and Israel to prioritize war over peace.
