Comment on It was in self-defence đ

The iron dome also isnât perfect and doesnât change the intent. If I make my house bullet proof and you shoot it every day in the hopes of killing me at some point I have the right to get rid of you by some method surely?

To do âself defenceâ, all Israel had to do was guard its borders and have some diplomatic solution that didnât completely dehumanize Palestinians, maybe policies that listen to expert opinions on these subjects and how this is causing extremism to double. They didnât need to invade âin self defenceâ.
Funny how that works both ways.

Alright so from your perspective it seems you expect Israel to do all the heavy lifting here. Just ignore the attacks and hope Hamas is willing to negotiate one day? Even though they make it clear they want to remove Israel
What should the Palestinians/Hamas be doing? Continuing with their current course of action until Israel decides to do something different?

Giving people rights and ending apartheid and reducing extremism is heavy lifting? As opposed to now???
But yes I expect the supremacist colonial landgrabbers to do the heavy lifting.

So what exactly does that entail? Remove all troops, accept continued missile attacks and pray that Hamas eventually gets sick of it and negotiates?
I donât think youâre really considering the actions and goals of Hamas here. Is anything they do justified as long as they donât have their own state away from Israel?
