The Hamas attack on October 7 was also wrong and bad. No excuses there. But there has to be limits on retaliation.
At this point, it's clear that the ongoing genocide is not a retaliation. The Oct 7 attacks were simply an excuse to escalate their genocide and complete the occupation of Palestine. This is common practice in invasions and wars, there's very rarely a solid reason for war beyond seizing resources like land or oil.
