Too much focus on the response to what Hamas started and refuses to stop; focus on Hamas' intransigence and their role in all this.
This thread is about Israeli war crimes. Stop trying to obfuscate. Nothing Hamas has done can justify what Israel is doing. Both can be wrong.
So enlighten us. What would have been an appropriate Israeli response to Oct 7 and to the continued holding of hostages? Kill, rape and kidnap the exact same # of Palestinians, and also refuse to let those kidnaped go?
Or maybe try to eliminate the people who committed, and who continue to commit, those atrocities, who also have the power to put an end to the violence but choose not to? Remind us again why hostages are still being held, and what Israel should be doing to free them? Just ask nicely?

No one should be surprised that this is the typical conduct of the worlds "most moral army" of course.
Looks like Jewish Israelis did not learn the lessons of the Holocaust-Shoah. The Germans in WWII were also "just obeying orders." This is no excuse. Israeli soldiers can refuse to follow orders.

Because Israel doesn't want the hostages back so they can continue to genocide the civilian population.
Meanwhile, Israel is keeping 10,000 hostages including women and children that they abuse, starve, rape and kill.
