Biden wraps up his visit to wartime Israel with a warning against being ‘consumed’ by rage

Israel had cut off the flow of food, fuel and water to the Gaza Strip after the attack by Hamas, in which nearly 1,400 people in Israel were killed.

An explosion at a Gaza Strip hospital compounded the suffering.

Israel confirmed that food, water and medicine would begin to flow to Gaza through Egypt, though exactly when that would begin wasn’t immediately clear.

There were conflicting claims of who was responsible for the hospital blast.

Biden had also been scheduled to visit Jordan to meet with Arab leaders Wednesday, but the summit was called off after the hospital explosion. »

The oppressed vs oppressor mistake

Authored by iai.tv

The intersectionality principle which posits that Jewish women face oppression as women for which they deserve solidarity, didn’t kick in here.

Our moral outrage at injustice, not to mention violence, should not be conditional on the ethno-racial category of the perpetrators.

Ultimately, the Oppressed versus Oppressor framework is highly limited in its practical capacity to solve complex real-world problems that defy simplistic good versus bad divides. »
