Irgun/Herut/Likud is just as guilty of all of these “charges”… I think you just lack the ability to rest the blame on Israel. They could have dropped cash over Gaza as reparations for the prior 75 years of genocide.

Not sure if you're confused, acting in bad faith, or just don't know what genocide is OR Israel is just really bad at doing genocide?

Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect". The remainder were undecided or gave no answer.

Now remember that figure was BEFORE the latest wave of violence, so just after October 7, apparently the majority of people in Palestine thought killing 1200 innocent civilians is ok? It seems like some level of self-defence is warranted given there is now more Palestinians than ever before who hate them?

Because Israel already inflicts the same exact type of violence onto them. Why do people magically forget 2018? 2014? Palestinians have the right to defend themselves, and especially the right to return to the land and property they were displaced from.
Can you explain how October 7 was a self-defense move please?

I'm very curious to understand how that has achieved a single bit of "defense" for people living in Gaza.

Take a look at that photo, the hysterial guy on the track over the top of the girl who was raped and killed and try explain to me what on earth that has to do with "self-defense".

They're ecstatic because they killed a Jew and they think they're doing god's work, don't be a fool.

>1200 innocent civilians is ok

Please cite the sources for this maybe? The ITF personnel won't be counted as Civilians, correct? Even before adding the Hannibal directive death's, by ITF's own people, these figures are not correct.

>The 7 October attacks on Israel killed 1,139 people, including 815 civilians.

From the linked wiki. Not 1200. This would be much clearer when the Hannnibal directive kills are excluded. Such a shame that the most moral Army would kill their own.

Makes perfect sense.

I attack your country and kill 1200 people, and you airdrop me pallets of cash.

Great deal.

IDF gunships killed 1000 of those people. Notwithstanding the previous 15 years' worth of provocation since the disengagement and withdrawal from Gaza.

But my apologies, I have to consider your feelings when I think there are better alternatives to killing 300,000 people with bombs and starving another 1 million.

What is your actual point here?
Israel doesn't want to live peaceably with its neighbors. It only exists to kill for sport. Really betrays the whole "never again" message I grew up with.
On October 7, they were living peacefully with their neighbors, there was a ceasefire on October 7.
The 75 years of genocide in which the Palestinian population increased tenfold?
Yes.
You guys and your birthrate anxiety. How about not having kids at 40 lmao
Not sure where you're getting this impression. Neither side of this is having kids at 40
