As this nightmare continues well into a 2nd month (and who knows how many more months after that), Israel should be surprised by none of what happened on October 7th, in much the same way Palestinians should be surprised by none of Israel’s response. Of course, what Hamas did was the definition of evil but it was hardly unpredictable. I genuinely don’t particularly support any side here (lapsed Catholic agnostic), but what can be observed (by any impartial neutral) is a 75-year-long ongoing fight whereby one side has been throwing its weight around considerably more than the other side (if the year on year casualty figures are anything to go by), yet when the other side finds the capability to strike back, the opponent is somehow surprised, as if that were just not cricket, old boy! Last time I checked, in a boxing match both sides are allowed to throw punches. In these kinds of seemingly intractable situations, I always flip it: how would the Israelis feel if the boot were on the other foot and it was they who were living in the conditions the average Palestinian is (and has been for decades) living in? They’d be fighting back. Fighting for dignity and freedom. A 2-state solution is the only way here. Of course, with this, the nitty-gritty will be who gets custody of the car and who gets custody of the cat.
