I don’t know if my brain has been poisoned and I am not thinking straight but look at these comments:

And that is how you make a man with nothing to lose.

It doesn’t matter your reasons. It doesn’t matter who said or did what first. It doesn’t matter about the past, or who fired the first bullet, or threw the first stone, your politics and religion and legal systems don’t matter. The only thing that matters to this man is what you did to his child. And there are more like him every day, all over the world in conflicts. This man will never, ever, ever forget, nor forgive.

Right or wrong, if my daughters were murdered, I could see how it could radicalize me.

These are three of the top top-level comments. I still haven’t gotten the hang of how liberal brain works.

    Palestinians are radical from birth. Kids that throw rocks at tanks don’t suddenly turn into a completely different person when the grow up, divorced from their upbringing. Liberals are metaphysicians, they look at things in a vacuum. They see someone grieving for his child and don’t pick up that this man has had a full life before that point, that he has been living subjugated in Gaza since birth, that he has had to put up with IDF raids in the middle of the night since he was 5. He was already radicalised.

    But I also think liberals don’t realize this because the media is polluted by pro-Israel propaganda. They don’t realize the extent to which Israel goes to ensure their conquest of Palestine. And well, they also have this Rambo fantasy about taking on the bad guys by themselves. That’s another problem and topic entirely lol.

    Abby Martin interviewed an ex-IDF soldier turned whistleblower here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkxJd88xkBU, it’s mindblowing the extent the IDF terrorizes the people of Palestine to break their morale. We’re talking curfews just so that Israeli citizens (white Jews, anyone else has only partial or no citizenship) can celebrate a date. Streets that only settlers can walk on, you have to go through your window through the backyard to leave your house. Raids in the middle of the night just to say “hey, we’re still here”. And of course the bombings on Gaza that are simply not comparable in scale to what Hamas fires.

    Sounds to me like these commenters are starting to understand Palestinians, and sympathizing with them.
