The fact the media has to keep trotting out chyrons to condemn the attacks a week after the attacks is quite telling to me. The subtext feels different than condemnation. I'm no fan of Hamas or the Knesset. Both these groups are hellbent on repeating the same things over and over again expecting to see different results. Neither has any plan. But one is the occupier. The other seems to have signed a Goebbels-like suicide pact. Fractured Native American tribes ran attacks like this all the time on frontier settlements, just as brutal. The larger attacks were often supported by an enemy power. Headlines of subsequent genocide events in the media were similar, talking about justice being served, often on a native group of "savages" that had nothing to do with the attacks.

The Hamas attack was absolutely horrific, but this is really important framing. These groups are locked into a cyclical conflict, which will be difficult to break out of
