They are an abomination. Emotions have absolutely nothing to do with objectoive reality and the rational action to be undertaken. Israelis never used to talk like this. When did we become a bunch of whimps? When I was being raied on the kibbutz, do you think I WANTED to get up at 4am to help with the harvesting? No. At 16 years old I would rather sleep. But we ALL understood that living is not about "feelings", but acting properly. What do i want? A world that "loves Israel" and Hamas to continue? No. David Ben Gurion said that better the world disliked a warrior Jew than the victim Jew. He was right. There was lots of sympathy for Jews in WW2 but nothing was done! Israel has to continue to crack Hamas skulls and those that do not like it - too bad! It always riles me when I see the words “not liking us”. They are an abomination.
