    Protip: If your thought process begins to sound like “either you’re with me, or you’re against me”, you may be in the middle of the process of turning into a tv villain.

      I 100% condemn Hamas and their terrorism, but I have been thinking of this skit a lot lately, wondering how many Isrealis are experiencing this revelation and asking “Are we the badies?”

        Sometimes people forget the lesser evil is still evil. And Benjamin “lets-prop-up-hamas-to-weaken-the-PLO” Netanyahu definitely fits the bill.

        This whole conflict is nothing but villains and victims. There’s no moral high ground and no good guys.

          Totally agree. I don’t support Hamas and their terrorism, nor do I support Isreal’s genocide and ethnic cleansing.
