And let’s not pretend history started on October 7th, that region has been in turmoil for almost a century now, so trying to excuse the sniping of children in the head, mass starvation, subjugation of a whole population, straight up ethnic cleansing in this day and age is indefensible no matter what happened. You say you’re not excusing but only explaining but I don’t want to hear any explanation that equates babies as threats that are okay to kill in war. Hamas could’ve dropped a nuke on Tel Aviv and it still wouldn’t excuse sniping innocent children in the head. Did it become okay to liquidate the ghettoised Jews because they struggled for their freedom? They tried to rise up too? They weren’t prepared to lay down without a fight. And where is the outrage against the Israeli government for firing on their own citizens at the festival?
