But they wouldn't have done so had there not been the initial attack.
Do you remember all the pictures of armed Israeli citizens going about their lives? Apparently the leadership in Israel thought it proper to disarm those people and...
Personally, if i ran Israel, I would secure the prosperity and security of my people by exterminating every Palestinian that i could find. If I were a Palestinian I would probably have been throwing bombs and causing trouble.
Tactically as far as very just and expected retaliation and operations, it's destined to fail and backfire. We've seen and executed the same tactics into civilian populations over and over and over and seen thousands lost of our own blood and treasure only to kick the can down the road. Unless of course the unstated end game is to turn the entire territory into a literal parking lot and willingly write the civilian population off as collateral damage and /or willing combatants. Man women and child. Have to think that an Israeli government order of extermination of what ? 5,6 million people would be a very raw nerve given history and region. Given the proximity and constant clashes I'm surprised they do not have operators and intel prior to the savagery of Oct 7th that. Spies or saboteurs or whatever trying to get inside of Hamas and kneecap leadership from within. As usual the U.S is also answerable for much and tbh once again we keep our big fat toe stirring the Mideast. I mean shit doesn't Qatar fund Hamas ? yet we keep multiple bases there turning a blind eye. All to maintain our boot print and forward operations. Not to mention keeping the arms industry thriving for all. It really is a shit show and we revisit it every half dozen year.
@Master @Spicoli I accidentally hit dislike for the above post when I meant to like it because I totally agree with spicoli. I'm riding on a bus which is bouncing around a lot and using my Android and I hit dislike instead of like.

In 1948 the land was stolen in an unfair manner and since that day 75 years ago the Israelis have been subjugating and brutalizing and arresting and killing and stealing more and more land through illegal settlements against the Palestinians without any help from the international community or without any enforcement of un security council resolutions that demand for the last 50 years that Israel give back so much land and dismantle the settlements but instead the United States keeps vetoing that resolution which comes up twice a year since 1967 and there was no international legitimacy of law enforcement and then when you have a violent backlash like what happened on October 7th everyone wants to whine but this has been going on since 1948 and what happened on October 7th is not even 1% of what the Palestinians have suffered at the hands of the Israelis since 1948 so don't talk about October 7th it started 75 years ago

How can an illegal occupier who is administering and apartheid state have the right to defend itself? It makes no sense but most everybody in the west is brainwashed
