    While undeniably horrible…

    It’s important to remember that’s pretty much how all Palestinians have been forced to live for generations.

    At any moment IDF can burst in, and either kill or abduct you and torture you.

    Neither side should be doing it, but one side does it constantly for 70 years now. When the little guy manages to get a single punch in on the bully, it doesn’t seem rational to excuse the bully for years of aggression and act like there was no reason they got punched.

    Especially if the bully beats the crap out of the little guy for getting that punch in.

    The little guy can’t do anything else except stand there and take it. The bully can stop being a bully whenever they feel like it.

    It’s asymmetrical, both sides don’t have equal power to stop it.
