    “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” (or being very full of oneself)

      Hanlon’s Razor is about guarding against unlikely explanations, not discarding explanations that actually fit with a pattern of behavior. Literally anything can be attributed to stupidity if you try.

      Bibi has been supportive of and overseeing the murder of Palestinians for decades, and ignoring and suppressing moderate, non-Zionist Jews in Israel, but this one time malice is the less likely explanation? Nah.
