If an 8 stone weakling with a drink problem, threatens you, you're allowed to give them a slap and send them on their way in the name of self defence. Any more than that and you become the aggressor and the self defence argument no longer applies. However if (like Israel) you chose not to defend yourself, even an 8 stone weakling can do a bit of damage. If a powerful guy, twice your size threatens you, you can use almost any means possible to defend your self.
As abhorrent as the October 7th attacks were, Hamas is no match for the Israeli defence forces, they are an oppressed people with no army to speak of, little equipment or hardware, no air force or Navy. Israel has gone way beyond the scope of self defence and are now the aggressors! They MUST be stopped!
I am also still of the opinion that Israel could have defended themselves against that attack had they acted upon intelligence but chose not to!
...and yes my analogy says that Hamas is the 8 stone weakling (compared to Israel) as if you had put up with the Israeli oppression that they have endured, you would be underweight with a drink problem too!
