To a lot of reactionary people, it seems that the thought of sympathy and/or support for the Gazan people is all or nothing. Either you support the Gazans in their struggles, or you want them all dead.
I've talked about this before, rather extensively, that many of the worst people around us are victims, too. The chances that a kid born into a community of skinheads will see the light, and live a beautiful, productive life are slim.
We have a tendency, mostly rightly so, to judge people by their words and actions now.
So, I get that the kids who were born in the Gaza the year Hamas took over are 17-years-old. The kids that were born just before Hamas took over are adults. None of them have exposed to any ideas other than following Allah and hating the Jews. So, yeah, most of them are victims of circumstance.
Still, a victim of this kind of circumstance is no less dangerous than an actual psychopath. There's no practical way to weed through all these people, and determine who would have become a loving, caring person, and who was broken from the beginning.
We're all a type of machine. Some us are machines that were built to kill and cause harm as our brains developed in her womb. Some us are machines that were built solid, but ultimately broken. Broken machines are dangerous too.
Sympathy for the Gazans isn't. Still, Hamas has to die.
