Pushing The Limits With Brian Shapiro(@TheBrianShapiro):That makes sense to me, and to an extent I agree. Hamas raped kids, killed babies, beat women to death. They are the sickest of the sick. Totally agree. Where we might disagree, I do not believe Mamdani hates Jews, or is a terrorist sympathizer. Bias? I suppose when you personally have relationships with people who have been killed by Israel, that could make you bias. Again, timing very bad.

To be honest, I’m good with anyone willing to agree that the timing was horrible. I have strong opinions about who was at fault on October 7th and whether Israel’s response was justified, but I also accept that reasonable people will disagree. My anger isn’t toward those who believe Israel should have showed more restraint—I disagree with them, but, again, reasonable people can disagree in good faith here. My anger is directed at those who minimize the severity of Hamas’s actions and who claim the atrocities were acceptable given the historical context of the I/P situation.
