For decades, the Israeli liberals have put up a principled resistance to the violence.
Then Hamas pulls some ol' shit like Oct 7. Likud says "see?! see!? Hamas cannot be trusted!"
The Israeli liberals have just stopped liberal-ing. And while those hostages remain underground, Israel will go on exterminating human life out of Gaza.
A ragged urchin, aimless and alone,
Loitered about that vacancy; a bird
Flew up to safety from his well-aimed stone:
That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,
Were axioms to him, who'd never heard
Of any world where promises were kept,
Or one could weep because another wept.

After Oct 7, Israel no longer cares about the world opinion. While those hostages rot away underground, why should anyone else?
