Ok, the big problem in this whole thing is assymetrical nature of the thing. The Israelli military is a military funded and shaped by the US one, and it’s a mammoth in all the ways that matter.
Hamas, after years of being supressed, is a group of militants with handguns.
The Isrealli response to those terrorist with guns killing and abducting some of their people, was to flatten and impose collective punishment on the whole country that those people came from.
I have no issues with them defending themselves, but I do with the disproportionate nature of what has been happening.
It’s especially ironic because the jews are one of the few people in the world that should have learned that lesson.
The Palestinians overwhelmingly support Hamas, both ideologically and materially. So a "collective punishment" is not only appropriate, but is the best defense against further Hamas attacks and massacres towards Israelis.
What Jews have learned, time and time again, is that Hamas and their supporters have absolutely no interest in peaceful coexistence. Wiping Israel off the map through any means necessary is their primary goal. It's even in their founding charter.
