Ironically doesn’t this star wars analogy work the other way. Israel citizens are attacked. A small relatively small amount of civilians die. Then Israel goes commits genocide.
This both sides narrative related to Palestine is not accurate because this is about a colonizer and a colonized people. I personally don’t believe that there’s any scenario where the colonizers are the good guys because colonizing relies on oppression, dispossession and dehumanization of the colonized, and consequently a feeling of superiority, otherwise the whole thing won’t work.

Only if you start the series in the middle of the timeline like George Lucas…
Both sides think they’re the good guys with something to avenge. And both sides probably do have that.

Killing civilians doesn’t avenge anything, no matter who does it.
*Except on Oct 7th, then it’s ‘justified’ I’m guessing you’ll say.
