Like the expanding settlements in the West Bank.
I've seen all types of celebrations over the war in Gaza.
Rob, I'm sure you've seen a ton of the videos where Israelis were going and watching the war.
like watching Gaza and watching the explosions during it and rooting for it, at politicians signing bombs.
There's all types of examples of just really sick kind of like worship.
But again, this is what happens in wars on all sides.
It's just not unique to the other side.
If the residents of Tel Aviv condone the taking of Palestinian infants, old women, and other non-combatants as hostages, I mean, they just call them prisoners.
You could make this a distinction, but let's say the people living in the West Bank, they face military tribunals.
You know what their conviction rate is?
Is there really a meaningful difference between prisoners and hostages?
You know, Hamas also captured some IDF guys, but we still look at them as hostages and we still look at some eight-year-old Palestinian as a prisoner.
Dude, Israel's sitting on thousands and thousands of Palestinians.
Over the years, thousands and thousands and thousands of Palestinians who did not get a fair trial.
Some of them didn't even get military tribunals, by the way.
Thousands of them got nothing.
Just held without charges, without a trial, nothing.
