Selber says "we are all—every American—responsible for the wars fought in our names." If that principal is applied in Gaza, then every Gazan is responsible for the actions of Hamas. Ironically, even though the Hamas leaders are pleased to see ordinary Gazans starve and die, as it will provide them with new recruits, and line their pockets with a significant portion of the bounty that the western world will send to Gaza after the fighting has stopped. Historically, when wars are started with an unprovoked violent and deadly attack (think Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, or Russia's invasion of Ukraine), the world has concurred with Selber's statement, but most seem to apply a different set of rules related to Gaza's attack on Israel. Is that warranted, or is something more sinister at play?

Jew hatred. And we all know it.

We have democratic control over the actions of the US government. The vast majority of residents of Gaza have no influence over Hamas. 70 percent of Gazans were not alive when the last Democratic election was held in Gaza.
