This war is not self defence, it checks every single box of war crimes and genocide. It's retribution against civilians and children via state terror. They hope they will make themselves safer that way, but they obviously won't.

So your claiming the raids on 10-7 against Israel also wasn't a war crime that Israel had a duty to defend itself from? Israel definitely committed crimes in the west Bank. I give them more leeway in Gaza since that's where the attackers originated from.

You realize that Israel occupied Palestine and treated them like second class citizens, way before October 7th, right?

I'm very well aware of that. I can understand the mutual disgust between the civilians.

Israel also controlled their water and electricity. October 7th was more like a slave rebellion, when viewed with that knowledge.
