I’m not saying it’s “justified” per se. I’m saying it was intentionally created by Hamas/Iran/the jihadist movement. Their immediate aim is the annihilation of Israel. Their long term goal is global caliphate. They choose to sacrifice Palestinians, by creating a situation where Israel is faced with a “kill or be killed” scenario. Suppose you were in command of Israel. The population is fed up with rockets hitting their homes and playgrounds where their children play. Oct. 7th was the last straw. They demand security. How do you neutralize the jihadist threat?
