I don't really have the emotional energy to fill this thought out, but it is a strange bit of cognitive dissonance for Jesse that he thinks both a) sometimes involuntary detention, whether inpatient treatment or incarceration, is necessary for the safety of the community; and b) "how could Israel possibly be made safer by destroying Hamas?"

Katie is right: antisocial behavior will always exist, and sometimes people will be unreasonable and unwell. When it's a single person threatening others with shoves or knives, you can put them behind bars; when it's 20,000 people with rockets and machine guns and mortars, you have to do a little more than that.
