and I have, given the history of all that Israel has suffered, not just on that date but for decades (rocket attacks, suicide bombers, kidnappings, etc...), have been largely on the side of Israel since October 7th. Even though I thought it was "heavy-handed", I understood the years and years of pain Israel has endured from the terrorists in Gaza and other neighboring states. But dispossessing people and taking their land to build "The Riviera of The Middle East" presumably with a Trump hotel and casino is beyond the pale and Israel and the Jewish people will never be able claim the "moral high ground", ever again... That's what I meant by my comment and, it's the truth.
