Give hate a chance

When you consider the events of 10/7, there’s no denying those Hamas fighters were motivated by hate. They hate the people who have humiliated and abused their people for the better part of a century. When you consider the 26,000 Palestinians slaughtered since, there’s no denying those IDF fighters are motivated by hate. They hate the people who challenge their claim to God-given sovereignty over the land between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea. The question is, whose hate will prevail? The grass-roots hate on the Arab side? Or the astro-turfed PR hate manufactured by the other side? At the end of the day, most people can still tell the difference between victim and predator.
