Political Mayhem Thursday: Gaza's hard questions
In the wake of the 2023 invasion of Israel by Hamas, most reasonable people expected a response from Israel. It was a horrifying incursion, largely targeted at civilians. As Ezra Klein of the New York Times explains (quoting Joe Biden), equivalent to Israel's size, it was a loss of life like fifteen 9/11's.
But the loss of life in Gaza is now equivalent to 2,500 9/11's. Starvation there is a reality as aid has been restricted.
If you have a subscription to the Times, I recommend you watch Klein's full video.
