Israel isn’t just bombing innocent people for no reason. It’s well and good to say “neither side is without guilt”, but the fact is that one “side” is a terrorist organization that deliberately killed 1000 civilians in a single day and kidnapped over 200 more, and the other side is a democratic state that is trying to get those hostages back while minimizing collateral damage in a dense urban environment honeycombed by tunnels.
There may have been times you’ve been delayed by traffic jams that you didn’t know were there but Waze (or whatever) was well aware of and could have navigated you around. I too have a good sense of direction etc., but the truth is that traffic-aware apps do save you time.
It was a hopeful time. The end of history, some called it.
