Mistreated for decades

And we wouldn't even be talking about it if Hamas hadn't raped murdered their way into the news-cycle.

Hym "Isn't it a little sad to you that they've been mistreated for decades and you spent those decades thinking your women and children wouldn't get raped and murdered over it and now... BAM! That delusion has been ripped away from you in one fell swoop? And ONLY NOW is it the impetus for change. Like... Hamas has been firing missiles into Israel for years... You DIDN'T NEED TO ERADICATE HAMAS... Until now... Because you thought your women and children wouldn't get raped and killed over it and they DID have that happen to them. Isn't it sad? And still the lesson hasn't been learned. Because you can kill Hamas all you want but it isn't going to do anything because you aren't fighting THEM you're fighting THEM IN ABSTRACTION. The PERPETUAL 'THEM.' And so long as the conditions that created the impetus for violence exist the rape and child murder isn't ABSENT in you society but, rather, IMPENDING. And you're going to do the same thing you do with school shootings and hyper-fixate on solving the 1st order problem (The physical ability for somone to do what they did) rather than addressing the actual cause. And beyond that, you're not actually even capable of engaging with the true cause. You're going to deflect to some amorphous 'craziness' or some ethereal 'evil' as the cause and you will do nothing to prevent things like happening in the future because you refuse to change the present in such a way that it will prevent things like this from being a desired outcome."
