Definitley, it's so complex. Knowing the history & setting or culture is so important to understanding the scriptures, the Hebrew scriptures or the Christian scriptures. My problem with N is he has violated the (man-made) law of proportionality in war, imo. I understand proportionality involves not only numbers killed but strategic hits and other aims of the warring parties. N can't knock out all Hamas players although that's his stated goal. But it's impossible to do -- so his goal is wrong. Couldn't Biden call him on that?
My problem with N. is that he is corrupt, he favors the far right in Israel, allows the fundamentalists to attack Palestinians and settle on to their land, aided and abetted Hamas, tries to destroy Israeli democracy, and is responsible for all of them not paying attention to what was happening at the border.
Yes, all those things (although I hadn't known about the womens' report from the border) but I meant at this point it seems Biden and other allies could do a little more regarding the extent of N's response. It was way over done and he has no chance of succeeding in killing all the Hamas, his stated goal. That's against the rules of war.
