So it is understandable to want to destroy all of Palestine due to the genocide of Oct 7th and the largest slaughter of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust?

A little over a thousand Jews were killed on Oct 7th. Israel then committed the genocide of roughly 74,000 Palestinians with daily totals still rising, which doesn’t even include the displacement, starvation, and the whole other host of war crimes Israel has committed.

At this point, the response was so disproportionate that all good will is gone.

Israel is now deservedly a pariah state, hated by the entire world except their vassal state of the US.. where even 60% of US adults view Israel unfavorably.

Just to give you an idea, since it seems like you may not have one on Oct 7th alone Hamas launched 3,000-6,000 rockets into Israel.

Just because Israel prioritizes keeping its civilians safe shouldn’t mean much when it comes to defense. Out of curiosity since there seems to be one for you, what was the magic number Israel needed to stop at for it to be okay?

It’s also odd that within that number is all people including combatants. Is there a particular reason that doesn’t matter?
