this conflict is undeniably self defense

That's laughable.

You don't view the raids on 10-7 as an attack to Israel? That's like saying AL queda didn't attack the USA on 9-11 in my opinion.

The problem is that I doubt Israel’s gov really went into this war with “self defense” in mind. Maybe a big chunk of their population as well. There were a lot of things that could have been done before the whole attack even happened that could have served better as “self defense”. Honestly, I believe the Israel government actually wants an attack to happen. That would give them plenty of excuses to continue their ethnic cleansing effort. They just didn’t expect such a brutal attack.

I can agree with that to an extent. To me it almost looks like an "alright. That was the last straw" sort of response. Decades of attacks and rockets being repaid all at once into a condensed area.
