    Why do you insist on using past tense to describe what is ongoing, much the same way that nobody can point to an incident where these millionaires and billionaires that are worshipped for their celebrity status have come out and said “I was wrong, what’s going on are daily crimes against humanity the likes of which we have not seen before.”

      Feel like you are trying to misunderstand for the sake of being outraged.

      I was implying that the situation was more ‘nuanced’ and ‘complicated’ at the time of the October 7th attack, that the attack was horrible but it was a bit more complicated due to enduring misbehavior by Israel in Gaza and the West bank, both sides doing bad things. It has become less complicated because it has become absurdly one-sided atrocities by Israel in the recent years.

      Yes, it would be good to see some folks come back and update their perspective given more information, but I’m still not going to advocate for crucifying someone solely for tacking their name on a letter of solidarity with Israel in the immediate wake of the October 7th attack.
