    Interesting to see them move to this. They know they’re losing public support so they shift things, now it isn’t “Israel are the good guys and Hamas are the baddies.” It’s “Israel bad, fine, but Hamas are no angels either!”

        It might work surprisingly well on their lib audience, they love to “both sides” everything. But that group is shrinking by the day as people realise how amoral and reprehensible a position it is to take.

    Even if they managed to spare every civilian in Gaza, attacking Hamas is attacking a legitimate governing party that is defending its country’s territory under international law.
