There is no justification for the genocide committed by Israel. No crime committed by Hamas justifies the actions taken by Israel.
But it is also dishonest to suggest that Hamas was merely threatening to harm people. October 7th was a massive, coordinated, heinous attack on innocent civilians.
It was intended to provoke a reaction from Israel, so Hamas is getting what it wants.
That's not a justification for Israel in any sense at all. Israel is actively engaged in a genocide, and should be stopped. The Israeli war criminals should face prosecution for their crimes.
Hamas is a violent terrorist organization who should be stopped. The Hamas war criminals should face prosecutio for their crimes.
Both things can be true. Saying so does not equivocate or mitigate either crime.
You are right, but no one is defending hamas here
