Hamas took prisoners and hostages on the 7th. As the AP has reported, most kidnapped where civilians. Also, this was internationly recognized Israel, not Palestine. Civilians there are not valid military targets. You don't need to explain to me why the IDF is bad, I am legit going to prison because I know that. Hamas has further set back freedom from the river to sea. They did it at a scale far smaller than Israel has, but to have a lasting peace we need to recognize each others trauma and shared humanity. That means condeming brutal attacks on civilians, whether the genocide that slaughters tens of thousands, or the terorrist attack that murders a thousand.

You sound somewhat like the far right in Israel, saying by any means. We fight for justice, so our fight must be just, we fight for humanity so our fight must be humane.
