I don't know why it isn't even a moderate view presently to think that "maybe an entire population being actively bombed shouldn't be cut off from water, electricity, food, fuel, and basic humanitarian aid"

@cwebber This is not about defense or humanitarian aid. It's about the horror of being forced to feed and otherwise service a group of people, where some of them are right now and right there abusing (the word isn't strong enough, but let's keep it at that) people from your group.

@dpwiz @cwebber wait a sec, is this apologetics for collective punishment, which as has been made amply clear is a war crime?

@tonyg @cwebber No, certainly not. This is attempt to process the situation without getting a headsplosion and descending into "everything is so clear cut here". I can't just run along with the mainstream coverage and cheer for the designated side. People die and everything is terrible.
