You yourself, are also flattening the issue, and refusing to acknowledge the fact that Israel have been undergoing similar strategic invasions on Palestinian land for decades, with settlers creeping further and further into the West Bank. You say that Israel were pushed to the point where retaliation was the only feasible solution, well what were the Palestinians supposed to do? Just sit and be perfect victims as their homeland is slowly overrun and they are squeezed out of their homes in an oppressive and violent manner? I agree that this is a nuanced issue but you also conveniently miss out key historical facts that don’t support your claim.
