And he's going after something much deeper than the war itself.
Tucker argues that when a country convinces itself the entire world wants it dead, eventually ANYTHING can be justified in the name of survival.
He points to the devastation in Lebanon, DESTROYED CHURCHES, and what he explicitly calls GENOCIDE.
And then comes the question that really stings: What the hell did the Christians do to deserve any of this?
His larger argument is that suffering doesn't give anyone a lifetime license to inflict suffering on others.
“You become a monster to the extent you believe you are a victim.”
And Tucker isn't just talking about Israel. He's warning that ANY society can reach the point where it stops seeing innocent people on the other side as human beings.
That's a pretty dark place to end up.
