I love how the media pretends that this is some “new” conlfict and not the same old one Israel has been waging on Palestinians since 1949…
Since the 7th century…

If anyone wants a really well written, non-partisan and clairvoyant read about the history of the area and conflict, I recommend this Encyclopedia Britannica article. Deep roots.
The Arab states chose not to participate in the partition plan, figuring they would destroy Israel and capture all the territory instead with military might as soon as Britain pulled out. It of course didn’t work out that way.
There’s blame on both sides since 1947 and before. This is a war Palestine (and Egypt, Syria and Jordan) have waged on Israel and Israel has waged on them.
There isn’t a good guy to be found here. It’s bad guys all the way down.

Riiight… how could those damnable middle-easterners not just stand by while colonialist powers generously redrew their borders as if the middle-east belonged to them?
Riiiight.
This is a war Palestine
Utter bullcrap. Did Palestine infiltrate Europe and perpetrate settler-colonialism on European Jewish people? Yes? No?
Once again… the only thing the apologists on here have managed to prove so far is that the only thing making all of this “complicted” is the garbage pro-colonialist right-wing propaganda westerners have been regurgitating for decades.
All those lives lost because your government refuses to seek a diplomatic solution.
Which government is that, Clyde? Madagascar’s?
It can be applied to several governments in 2023.
Is there something specific you wanted from me, right-winger?
If you’re so far left, everyone is right wing.
There is no such thing as a “far left” - you’re either left or you’re not.
Communist are far left.
What a shit headline. Journalists, with the exception of op ed writers, are supposed to maintain neutrality in public. It has nothing to do with which side she was on, just the act of making a public statement.
The article even makes that point, but of course the headline needs to be catchy and not just a fair portrayal.
Hunter S Thompson is about to break the sound barrier he’s spinning in his grave so hard.
Edit: Wait, he was cremated and shot out of a giant double thumbed fist wasn’t he
Yes. Dunno about the double thumbs but the rest is accurate.
Also New York Times Magazine != New York Times
