    You speak as though there are two people groups on equal footing doing atrocities here. As if both sides have done the same level of destruction and murder… That’s the crazy part in my opinion.

    It would be as if a 6 year old went and punched a bodybuilder, and the bodybuilder went on to curb stomp and break multiple bones in the child’s body, and then people defended his retaliation.

      No. Israel is clearly doing a lot more atrocities now. But taken in the context of the last 80+ years, it’s no 6yo punching a body builder situation. Israel has seemingly had the military advantage since its inception, but it has not been immune to great harm. The Oct attacks proved that it was still very vulnerable against an enemy who will always seek Israel’s destruction. Israel’s strategy now is abhorrent but there is context that makes it militarily logical, even if morally bankrupt.
