    Tensions have been rising since early October, when Hamas launched a surprise assault on southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people and kidnapping about 250 others.

    Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza has killed nearly 40,000 people

    Hmmmm. Commensurate? Worth it?

      Keep in mind this is an undercount of Palestinian death.
      I’ve heard counts well over 100,000.
      Keep in mind that 67,000 of those deaths are women and children.

      If that is their contribution to the world, Israel deserves no allies. Disarm them. Alienate them. Embargo them. Let them know what it’s like to go at it alone.
