No. I'm not glossing over it at all. I simply didn't write about it much in this particular article. As I've had to point out a few times recently, not every article can talk about every aspect of the conflict.

And yes, I'd love it if Israel were taking the approach of persuasion. Or at least not indiscriminately wiping out Gaza and killing thousands of innocent civilians. I'm currently writing an article related to this. And in it, I probably won't mention much about Hamas' attack.

It's so frustrating to see so many treat everything about this conflict as either/or.
