Thank you for writing. The war in Gaza has also put me in a moral and ethical crisis. I have always been against Muslim fundamentalists like Hamas and pro-democratic politics, but the collective punishment that Israel has unleashed makes me wonder about my moral position. Perhaps I am missing something here. Facing such a ruthless enemy like Israel, maybe the people in Gaza voted for Hamas for survival. It also disillusioned me about democracies; democracies are as cruel as entities like Hamas. Netanyahu makes Putin look like a saint. Perhaps despots like Putin and autocracies like Russia are more humane than democratically elected leaders like Netanyahu and democracies like Israel; after all, Russia has killed far fewer children in Ukraine than Israel has in Gaza.
