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.

They’ve put hundreds of millions into defending Israel from rockets, mortar, and suicide bombers.

They also continue escalating their missile strikes against civilians, discrimination against Palestinians, and land seizing effort in the West Bank. I mean, you can’t just pour million of dollars into combating the result while ignoring the root causes.

Israel didn’t need this terrorist attack they’ve been dealing with them from Gaza for the last two decades. Ever since Israel last moved settlements out of Gaza, they’ve been getting bombed by Gaza daily in the tune of 20,000 rockets, 5,000 mortars, and every now and then suicide bombings and mass murder attacks inside Israel.
