You could leave this in the Biden thread too. The genocide is a huge part of his Presidency and will likely cost him the election.

This is not a region with Hamas. It's a relatively nice neighborhood. Settlers want the land and homes so they go into those neighborhoods and terrorize the residents. This leads to lots of murders.
This has been happening long before October 7th. You can read about settler murders happening constantly before that date. I know you're just learning about this stuff, but it's been going on for awhile.

Arguably, it is now excessive force. But not right after Oct 7.
But you're a pacifist? Would you let people come into your house and hurt your loved ones without a response?

Israel has been in the Palestinian's house for 75 years. They've locked 2 million people in a concentration camp for over a decade. Aren't they justified in using self-defense too? Or is there a skin color chart to determine who has a right to self-defense and who doesn't?
