I think that is a deliberate misread of what I was trying to say. The roots of the ongoing issues in the Middle East are too complicated for this space, but to clarify, I am not a big fan of Netanyahu and the treatment of Palestinians in Gaza is horrifying. However, Iran has long funded Hamas as a proxy to attack Israel, and Hamas' attack on Oct 7th has led to Israel's leveling of Gaza and attacks on Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Syria. Israel will likely become a pariah in a de-stabilized Middle East. I honestly think no one wins here and disagree with those saying that Trump did the right thing.

“The whole chain of events was started by Oct 7th”
I deliberately misread that? My bad.
Just one additional counterpoint: it’s not complicated. It has been bloody, violent, disingenuous, but never complicated.
Complicated is just a word used to obfuscate history, and allow for the atrocities to continue.
