Is it justice if it's done by an unjust party for unjust reasons?

Like, no mourning for Sinwar here, but fuck, Israel icing him isn't exactly what I'd be throwing ticker tape in the streets over.

I can't read the whole article, but maybe she's seeing this as an opportunity to get Israel to dial the conflict down. Probably naive to think they'll stop for anything at this stage though, because they've shown it was never about the hostages to begin with.

I suspect that's what she thinks she's doing, but I wish politicians didn't speak in code. Just say that she expects Israel to reduce the level of conflict now. That way Israel can't take it as a endorsement of their future actions.

Why would Israel dial down the conflict when they just took out another obstacle in their march to settle all of Gaza and the West Bank and part or all of Lebanon?

Israel didn’t settle Lebanon during their last occupation and they won’t this time either. The West Bank is already a very big headache.

Sinwar was seen as a big impediment to any deal. Usually just he would decide to walk away from talks, as opposed to a whole delegation like the other parties. Anyway, after being imprisoned for 20 years, several of them in solitary, and writing a book glorifying martyrdom, it seems that he was fully committed to the long term struggle against the Jew and removing him may help end this genocide.
