    Protip: If your thought process begins to sound like “either you’re with me, or you’re against me”, you may be in the middle of the process of turning into a tv villain.

      I 100% condemn Hamas and their terrorism, but I have been thinking of this skit a lot lately, wondering how many Isrealis are experiencing this revelation and asking “Are we the badies?”

        Sometimes people forget the lesser evil is still evil. And Benjamin “lets-prop-up-hamas-to-weaken-the-PLO” Netanyahu definitely fits the bill.

          Netanyahu owed Hamas. They put him in power. Without the suicide and bus bombings right before the election Perez would have won. Bibi won by LESS THAN 1%, thanks entirely to Hamas and to Arafat’s refusal to crack down on them.

        This whole conflict is nothing but villains and victims. There’s no moral high ground and no good guys.

          Totally agree. I don’t support Hamas and their terrorism, nor do I support Isreal’s genocide and ethnic cleansing.
