Then why not go down a fight Hamas in the tunnels to rescue hostages? Hostages themselves have said Israel was killing them. True, in such a fight they are frightened but killing their own I would find unacceptable. Israeli soldiers and reservists have killed more israeli civilians than Hamas has. Especially at the "rave". You may be interested in rescuing hostages. Netanyahus government is not. You would act one way, Netanyahu another? Wherefore the difference?
.
Why do you think one of the main reasons of October 7th happened. Israel holds over 5000 Palestinians hostages as political prisoners. They are not charged with crimes or given any hearing must held indefinitely with no human rights whatsoever. They took hostages to trade for theirs. I realize you had no real knowledge of this. But Netanyahu has refused to trade hostages.
Netanyahu's government said no.
Israel has been killing Palestinians since 1949. How many Palestinian women and children and non-combatants have been killed by the Israeli army and airforce? At January it was 34,000. October 8th-January. Would you have killed that many?
The Palestinians have a long history of attacking and killing Jewish people. This is due to their belief that Jews should be killed.
I also have to acknowledge the obvious - you would have been in opposition to the liberation of the Jews from German concentration camps because innocent non-Jewish lives were lost.
The problem is not your valuation of human life. It is the devaluation of a life based on their nationality as Jewish.
If your family member were rapped and kidnapped I seriously doubt you would discourage a rescue or from preventing it from it happening again.
But you seem to think a Jew is less than human.
If the tables were turned and Israel committed the crimes Palestinian committed then I would say Palestine had the responsibility to defend itself.
BUT that is not the case. The former prime minister of Israel was a Palestinian citizen. Non-jewish Palestinians freely live in Israel as citizens. Christians freely live in Israel as citizens. Muslims freely live in Israel as citizens.
Israel has repeatedly been attacked, experienced terrorism from Palestinian. Your complaint is those terrorists remain in jail????
Israel rightly occupied the areas surrounding Israel. Israel actually conquered the area when the nations started a war against them. Israel withdrew for peace.
And again, in 2005 Israel withdrew from Gaza for peace.
The problem is that you have taken the position that Israel does not have a right to exist as a nation.
You have adopted the view that Israel should allow terrorists kill its citizens because they are, you know, just Jews....not real people.
You condemn Israel for attacking a refugee camp to rescue their citizens held hostage by the citizens in the camp.
