My point is that Hamas deliberately tortured, raped and murdered innocent civilians, whereas the IDF is specifically targeting Hamas combatants with the aim of destroying Hamas' ability to wage war from Gaza. They are not the sameThat's exactly what the IDF would say. However, as you suggest, it's not justified or effective but the other side did worse so hey ho, off you go?
I'm sorry but I don't understand your point.
From a Israeli standpoint, I understand the desire for revenge. It's a normal human reaction. Politicians need to act rationally though and not follow their base desires. The outside world, free from the "tribalism of pain", certainly need to think critically and look for solutions not justify vengeance.
