At a certain point it is no longer about “who hit first” but about “who hit last”.
The biggest issue is the attacks are not proportional. Just like 9/11 what happened in Israel to flare this up again is but a drop in a bucket of years of lived experience of those in Gaza. It doesn’t justify any of it but it does provide important context.
There can be no context for violence that hamas has shown recently, solely because it was aimed for citizens who did nothing to them. Anyone who doesn’t understand this also has to answer how exactly this helped anyone anywhere, other than accepting that hamas only wanted to kill more Israeli with no meaningful purpose in mind.
