This is where, for me, it wins out even over publications more aligned to my own views.</p>
Laura Sykes #Greeneralia<p>Looking for context in the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> tragedy? Do read Jonathan <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Freedland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freedland</span></a>'s <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Guardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Guardian</span></a> piece:</p><p>"This isn’t a contest of heroes &amp; villains – but two peoples in deep pain..."</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/27/tragedy-israel-palestine-conflict-horror" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2023/oct/27/tragedy-israel-palestine-conflict-horror</span></a></p><p>"Because the late Israeli novelist &amp; peace activist Amos Oz was never wiser than when he described the Israel/Palestine conflict as something infinitely more tragic: a clash of right v right. Two peoples with deep wounds, howling with grief, fated to share the same small piece of land."</p>
David Colquhoun<p>Another excellent opinion from Jonathan <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Freedland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Freedland</span></a> </p><p>".. this is not a football game. It has no need for spectators who root for one team against the other, goading their chosen side to go to ever further extremes. This is not a game, for one grimly obvious reason. There are no winners – only never-ending loss."</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/27/tragedy-israel-palestine-conflict-horror" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">2023/oct/27/tragedy-israel-palestine-conflict-horror</span></a></p>
