The dividing line is easy. Taking land, retaining land, barring right of return. These are of a kind.
Bombing in response to that? I can understand that.
Killing people in a manner on par with serial murderers en masse? Raping women in front of their families? These are of a kind. A very different kind.
But you’re right. I’m trying to square the circle. The situation is not resolvable in any fashion that stands as entirely just. I don’t think it can ever be.
