The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel's actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel's approach could backfire politically and suggests that there's no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it's in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

It's interesting what happens when the rhetoric used is applied to both sides.

  • Why don't the citizens of Israel stand up against their governments war crimes?

  • If the citizens of Israel didn't all want to be complicit in their government's war crimes, why haven't they risen up to outlaw mandatory military service?

  • Why don't the citizens of Israel do anything about the settlers committing terrorist acts in plains clothes, and instead just let them blend with the rest of the population?

  • Why do the citizens of Israel not stand against their military protecting, supporting, legitimizing the terrorist acts of the settlers?

The list goes on...
