People tend to think wars are complicated. \u00a0They try to disentangle it with endless debate like some unmanageable Gordion knot. But wars are usually quite simple, and come down to a simple question that gets debated over with guns. Much like Alexander the Great did, when he cut through that Gordion knot with his\u00a0sword.<\/p>\n
The Gaza conflict is no exception. After many debates with people over Twitter, I found the whole war can be distilled into one question:<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you agree Hamas fired 4000+ rockets at Israeli civilians?\u201d<\/p>\n
Without fail, the answer of everyone who supported Hamas in this war was either crickets, deflecting the question, or outright hostility. \u00a0Occasionally someone makes a grudging admission but immediately qualifies it with some crazy lie or excuse.<\/p>\n
It certainly explains the historic need for an inquisitor.<\/p>\n
This is by no means a conclusive or exhaustive list of the replies I got. Rather it\u2019s a small sample that I will keep adding to as my debates continue. Enjoy.<\/p>\n
