Isn’t this journalist criticizing the Israelis for dehumanizing the Palestinians? This is an ongoing conflict, I wasn’t limiting my comments to the recent events. They have been hating each other for a long time, and treating each other like that.
Some are trying to find a “cause” to the recent events. Yes it does have one: wrong is paid with worse wrong. But the first wrong also had a cause, and this cause also had another cause. It is called escalation.
And of course, if the conflict has a militarily stronger side, people have the tendency to side with the weaker side, even if it is just as or more evil.
