Hard disagree. If someone killed someone without intent - let’s say in a car crash - and then the mob insisted that person be tried for first degree murder, no one would say that requiring the correct definition of what happened wound be “grasping at straws.”

Now, it’s obviously an imperfect analogy - and I’m sure I’ll be accused of comparing the Gaza casualties to someone in a car crash - but the point is the same: just because something is horrific, does not mean that we get to lose our minds and toss the law out the window. I say as much in the piece.

As for the kids living in poverty in Gaza, we could have a robust debate about whose fault that is, given the aid that has flowed into Gaza for the last 19 years, and the fact that the aid was used to build tunnels. But that’s a different article.
