      Didn’t happen in a vacuum though, did it.

      Do not confuse me saying that with sympathising with Hamas. It is possible to recognise that both sides have bloody hands, and have done for decades.

        Can you explain what you mean by “Didn’t happen in a vacuum”?

        Best I can figure is that you disagree with the act itself, but agree with their motives or desires. But I really don’t want to assume, and would prefer to understand from you.
