Why do you keep replying to my posts
The hope to convince you or other readers that Israel has agency and its choices are its own. It’s just choosing to inflict catastrophic suffering on exponentially more people than those who had anything to do with Oct 23, and those choices will ultimately harm Israel more profoundly. Don’t worry, with the lack of any meaningful discussion I’ve now become bored of it.
Ok let me rephrase it for you. In response to:
It doesn’t matter what Hamas does or doesn’t do, it doesn’t give Israel an exception to break with its obligations under international law. Disproportionate harm to civilians, collective punishment, indiscriminate attacks, wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure, forced displacement of peoples, the list of forbidden miseries goes on and on. Israel unilaterally agreed to avoid ever doing anything from that list, no exceptions, but their ongoing decisions since Oct 23 have given many people cause to believe that they are doing at least some of them, which Israel itself agreed would be illegal.
