It's one thing to act. It's another to kill thousands of civlians in Gaza, most of whom have NOTHING to do with Hamas and do not support Hamas. I obviously, as a Jew, am not going to support or praise what Hamas did . However, to claim that their vicious attack justifies Isreal then killing ten times as many Palestinian civilians (in "exchange" or "retaliation" for the Israeli lives lost) is the very height of hypocrisy. I thought Niall Ferguson was smarter than that, but apparently not. I am so tired of this idea that is so prevalent among right wingers , that Israeli lives are worth so much more than Palestinian lives. I do not support Hamas and am dismayed by the rise in anti-Semitism since their attacks. I was shocked by the lack of compassion for Israeli lives lost. On the other hand, given this kind of response, I can't say I'm surprised those who support the Palestinian cause hate people who support Israel so much. Unfortunately the loudest voices in terms of people, like me, who don't believe Israel should be destroyed, nor that it does not have a right to exist, are people like the authors of this piece. it would be so nice if you had a just a tiny bit more diversity in your paper, not all these trump supporting right wing jerks, many of them racist and sexist. (here I'm not referring to this article, but others you have recently published. )

So what exactly do you suggest Israel do?
