Ignoratio Elenchi -- Missing the Point

Why do I keep hearing talking heads on the boob tube saying, "Israel has a right to defend herself."

Did somebody say she doesn't?

Is there some particular reason that people are missing the obvious fact that Israel has been the aggressor in this conflict? Like, since about 1948?

Is no one aware that these crimes are being perpetrated with hardware we gave to the perpetrators? Greetings from the USA.

I've been sometimes listening to but more often avoiding media coverage of these tragic and heartbreaking events for the past couple of weeks. It's simply too nonsensical to bear. All I can say about it is that there's got to be a pony in it somewhere.
