I don’t know what you think “the cause” is, or what cover you think I’m giving to Israel or Hamas. Israel understands that might makes right and that no one will try to stop them because the US backs them. Hamas understands that you cannot “moral standing” your way out from under the thumb of an oppressor because if the oppressor believed in “moral standing” then they would not be an oppressor in the first place.

Morality is great, but material conditions do not care about your or my ideology.
