    Sure. But at the same time, if you attempt to commit genocide, porportional self defense is fair. The question becomes what is porportional.

      Proportional self-defense probably ended before November, though, when the Palestinian civilian death toll hopped up to over triple the Israeli civilian death toll from the Hamas attack.

        Well, from that single attack on Oct 7th, but thats just one attack out of many. Its unclear just how many have been killed, and by who.

          Not really. Even the highest estimates of Israeli casualties for the entire year don’t come close.

            Maybe? Hamas clearly gives zero shits about civilians and theres so much propaganda coming out, I wouldnt be surprised to find out Hamas has a higher body count.

            Hell, I wouldnt put it past Hamas to delibritly murder Gaza civilians in order to blame the IDF. Hell, didnt they hit a hospital with a rocket?

      You yourself just cut a check for Hamas to indiscriminately slaughter 29k israelis as “proportional self defense” for how far in the red that ledger is over Oct 7th.

        Considering they shot a rocket at a hospital and blamed the IDF, I wouldnt be surprised if we’re already there. Impossible to know for sure though
