Ooh, have read that book. It's good.

Re. your third point- not sure it's that people want to see more Jews dying (although points for finding the most darkly hilarious way to turn the current liberal stance on the matter on its head) so much as it is that it's just really hard to ignore the power imbalance at this point, and the way it's been leveraged against the wrong populations. At which point, fairness becomes a reasonable wartime concern. Geneva Conventions and all that. Anyhow, think everybody would just be happier with less civilian deaths at this point. So maybe a more balanced Israeli-to-Palestinian militant ratio without necessarily upping the Israeli toll? Wow, no, comes off as crass no matter how you paint it. Besides all that though, my opinion on moral aggression stands for the time being- equal threat to both sides underscores the cost of conflict.

That's all I got, I'm tired. Think your approach to this is nuanced, and that's the highest compliment I can think to pay somebody in regards to the subject at hand.
