      You’re thinking too rationally. It is nigh impossible to be rational in a situation where you are hungry, tired, and could die at any moment from a drone strike.

      What does “be smarter” even mean? Move out of Gaza?

        No and I can explain, but this downvoting leads to no desire to do so… :)

          🤷 I wouldn’t fret the downvotes too much. Unlike Reddit it means practically nothing here. It bothers you a whole lot more than it bothers me.

          IMO, the least interesting conversations are ones where everyone agrees. When opinions differ, the real tragedy is when we stop listening to the other side.

          For what it’s worth, I’m more than happy to keep listening.
