    Hamas takes them hostage as well, Israel is just self defending.

      Self defense is balanced. How many refugees does hamas have? Further, Israel is retaliating against all Palestinians, not hamas.

        Yes, it is. What else are they supposed to do?

        How many refugees does hamas have?

        What do you even mean by that?

        Further, Israel is retaliating against all Palestinians, not hamas.

        Hamas is " the government" of “Palestine”, im not exactly supporting letting the average person there starve to death, but what else is Israel supposed to do? Just give up? Hamas are the ones using their citizens as meat shield.

          Israel has not allowed Palestine to have an election in nearly two decades. Hamas cannot be said to represent Palestinians.

          2.3 million vs hundreds or even thousands is not balanced. Israel responding a thousand times as severely isn’t believable as self defense

            Israel didn’t allow them to build DIY Rockets and launch them into residential areas either… Yet they still do…

            And… Idk if you know, but a government doesn’t have to be democratic to be a government and wage war… Examples: Russia, Iran and their friends the Taliban. They do still officially speak for the “country”

            Israel is responding however they like, they have been attacked.
