QUESTION ASKED AND (PARTLY) ANSWERED [VIP]: What the Hell Is Wrong with the People of Gaza? “Even if I were a Gazan in good standing, dedicated to the destruction of Israel, I imagine I’d be pretty upset if my local officials were tearing up the neighborhood’s water pipes to make weapons. Sure, ‘Kill the Jews’ and all that but I’d still like some fresh water for taking showers and cooking meals for my kids. Admittedly, I weigh these options as a bourgeois 21st-century man from middle America, and so I lack the fine moral perceptions of a Rashida Tlaib or a Hamas freedom fighter hacking the head off a Filipino guest worker with a garden hoe.”
