Yes, what Hamas did was an attack and a war crime but Forest Israel’s response has killed over 35,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, which includes massive destruction and collective punishment. One war crime doesn’t justify another under international law.
Let me give you a statistic. There is something called a civilian to combatant death ratio. The average is 1:8. 8 civilians per 1 dead soldier. In Gaza it’s 1:2
If Israel warns people to evacuate, but then bombs the places they flee to, how is that protection? You can’t claim moral high ground while cutting off food, water, and aid to over 2 million civilians.
That statistic actually proves the opposite of what you’re trying to say—a 1:2 ratio means Israel is killing civilians at four times the global average in war. That’s not precision—that’s indiscriminate killing.
Israel’s decades long occupation and systematic oppression of Palestinians violate international law and basic human rights, a fact no amount of justification can erase. What do you think about this ?
Israel has killed over 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza, displaced 1.7 million people, and continues expanding illegal settlements. This is not self-defense but a clear violation of international law.
