Please don’t be absurd.. or are you one of the people pretending that the October 7th attacks didn’t happen or that the victims somehow deserved it?

What Israel ended up doing in Gaza ended up being extremely horrible.

But what options did they really have? Not doing anything would have been the same(or worse) than the US ignoring 9/11… Hamas on the other hand had the option to stop the war at anytime they wanted, the chose not to.

Not kill children is the start , then not kill the innocent and then move to the civilized world conduct. Fairly low bar to meet.

So just ignore the atrocities Hamas/male Gazans committed and move on? Not exactly realistic?

[zaphirplane]

they are not synonymous as you’d like to make us believe, just cant be a homogeneous group.

Yes I think countries shouldn’t kill innocent people, you’d think people that experienced a genocide wouldn’t commit genocide so easily

They could've, like, stopped firing missiles at the people every day. When you fire missiles at people every day they will get angry and try to scrounge up something to fire back.

And there's just no excuse for the part where they shot children with sniper rifles, recorded themselves laughing about it and posted it on TikTok.

If I had to pick a single thing differently (I have many) Isreal should have not only ”allowed in” (which they didn’t ) food and water but actively driven in huge amounts of it.

Not kick a dog for decades upon decades and act suprised when it bit back?

It's been a shitty situation all round, since the fall of Beersheba if not before, but its a difficult ask to want all to believe October 7th came out of nowhere.
