Because they responded to the pogrom on their citizens? All the deaths in Gaza are lawful and according to the rules of war, a war that, yet again, for the 5th time in 75 years, the Palestinians started. Hamas are to blame for all the deaths. It is exactly the outcome they wanted so that they could yet again whine to the world about Israel, knowing full well useful idiots like you would suck it all up.

You are clearly saying it's acceptable for Israel to respond to the pogrom on their citizens.

Can you clarify whether or not it's also acceptable for Palestine to respond to the pogrom on their citizens? Is this a privilege that every country gets, or just Israel?

And does the amount of acceptable response scale in proportion to the amount of citizens killed in the pogrom?
