It has been a strange couple of days.
On the one hand, we’re facing the real possibility of World War III and on the other hand, we’ve felt the therapeutic effects of Israel finally getting its comeuppance.
As someone who is fiercely opposed to war and hates to see human suffering, I have felt some contradictory emotions. There has been a constant sense of dread, but I’d be lying if I denied feeling a hit of dopamine when I saw fireworks light up the sky above Tel Aviv.

I’d certainly be lying if I denied laughing when an Israeli who gloated about Palestinian suffering was crying that they’re now hiding in a shelter. Remember when it was cowardly to hide underground?
One interesting turn of events is the revelation that Israel is using human shields, quite literally. I already knew it keeps its intelligence buildings in the middle of cities, but there are even claims it has bases located under hospitals that are hard to verify. All I’m gonna say here is nothing would surprise me.

The Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv (above) were struck by Iranian missiles and the bombardment inevitably resulted in civilian casualties. I certainly don’t want to gloat about civilian casualties, but I do want to remind you that Israel set this precedent in Gaza and Israel bombed apartment buildings in Iran. I will also remind you that 91% of Israelis support the genocide in Gaza. The best thing for Israelis to do now is leave.
