    Don’t get me wrong what Israel is doing is absolutely horrible and should be stopped.

    But what I don’t really see in the comments is the question (and answer) what should they have done after the horrible attack Hamas did? I don’t have the answer myself.

    When something similar happend in the States (911) the response was to invade 2 countries and a 20 year long war.

    Edit to people saying how wrong I am even Biden mentioned it https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/18/joe-biden-urges-israel-not-be-consumed-by-rage-pledges-support-netanyahu-gaza-hamas

      They are in bad faith you are saying it yourself the moment you agree what they are doing is horrible.

      Israel government do not seek peace or justice they have their ambitions and that’s it. They could have done everything different since way before the latest attack but they don’t care, they are doing exactly what they want.

      Israel was starving Gaza before this and annexating the west bank.

      7 October would not have happened without israeli aggression.

      What israel should do is a hostage and POW swap and come to an agreement about a one or two state solution.

      This genocide does not solve anything.

      That wasn’t even remotely similar in multiple categories.

      Military response and operations to save the hostages is naturally justified, but that can be done without actively

      • cutting off water, food and power supply
      • bombing hospitals and apartment buildings full of civilians
      • executing civilian families in the streets
      • allowing members of parliament to call for eradication of the Gazan people without criticism
      • trying to shut down any criticism of their extreme and indiscriminate violence by calling their opponents part of Hamas (South Africa, UNRWA)
