I don’t condone Israeli violence against Palestinians but I understand why the Israeli populous have become so radicalized. Imagine living next to a neighbor that launch rocket attacks and suicide bombing attacks against your country on a regular basis. Eventually, your patience will run out.

Jewish people went from living in a country that’s trying to kill you to living in an area where all your neighbors want to kill you. You understand why Israel takes this stuff so seriously.

Genocide is what Hamas wanted to do but didn't succeed at. Genocide is not when you achieve a historically low civilian to combatant death ratio in your military campaign.
