The gaslighting just won’t stop. Terrorists invaded Israel with the explicit purpose to commit genocide against jews, any attempt to fight back against that is criticized. A huge chunk of the whole world just seems to feel like Israel “deserved it”, and they should just take it lying down.
Sure, but also Israel had already been committing genocide. The have an explicitly Zionist leader. They kill a shit-ton more Palestinians than Hamas kills Israelis. They also get a lot more support from the west. Sure, Hamas are terrorists, but Israel uses fear and violence (textbook terrorism) to suppress and colonize land. Much of that land is internationally recognized as Palestinian. Israel is not a moral state, and you shouldn’t pretend like they are.
Their citizens demanded it, any country would if they suffered the same attack. Its hard to say exactly what a reasonable response is. Between doing nothing, and nuking Gaza there is some reasonable, measured response. Either side could argue about what that is, but they can’t just do nothing, and take it lying down which seems to be what one side is suggesting is the only reasonable course of action.
It’s not that it wasn’t successful, it’s that it wasn’t within their capability. So getting upset about something that’s impossible in order to justify mass slaughter is an exercise in excuse making.
Oh fuck off there’s no way the force Gaza put out ever had a chance of doing that and Hamas themselves have said they expected to fight the military at the border. At this point the only people saying Israel is at risk of genocide are the Israelis themselves.

Do you think that the Israeli government’s current approach is reasonable and will work?

OK, fine, but do you think the current approach will work? And by “work”, I mean bring about lasting peace.
1000 people are going to commit genocide against a country of 7 million? Try to have some sense of the scale of things here.
So because they weren’t successful at wiping out every jew, which was their intention, they get a pass? That’s unrealistic.

Then stop gaslighting.
