As this is a war (started by Hamas, but still a war), then yes, of course they would be "justified" in doing that. And Israel would then be justified in reacting to that. I'm sure they would do that if they were able to.
Now it does, but not before the war was on. There's however the subtle difference that Hamas primarily targets civilians. They attack soldiers only as self-defence or when the soldiers are in the way of murdering civilians. Israel works in an opposite way, they only target Hamas soldiers. Given how they don't give much of a fuck for collateral damage, the end result looks similar, but intentions do matter. It implies that when Israel wins this, almost all gazans are still alive. If Hamas won this, Israel would vanish.
This was was started by Israel decades ago through their apartheid actions. This was always going to happen. Until these millions of people are allowed to be free, this will continue.
Ahh the "this all started on Oct 7 defense".
What a gloriously moronic way to justify genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Bro you have no clue what you're talking about. Hamas is the victims of attempted genocide. They do not target civilians, they launch rockets they aren't able to aim (because of the attempted genocide preventing them having anything Israel doesn't approve) at Israel.
Israel is the bad guy in this conflict, not Hamas.
