I understand your viewpoint, and agree that what the Hamas terrorists did was unspeakably barbaric. I would just like to share my thoughts on this and other conflicts. What I see is that it is not just Jews, it is innocent ordinary people in many countries who are suffering. In Ukraine innocent civilians are being bombarded in their homes, in Russia innocent people are being conscripted to die in a war they did not choose. In Sudan and Yemen it is the same story. I am not convinced that those who shoot missiles and send drones to bombard innocent civilians are any less guilty than the terrorists who do their evil more visibly. For me, the real problem is seeing people as members of groups and not as individuals like ourselves. We try to simplify, to place blame, when we should be looking at defusing conflict, as each war, each act of terrorism, provides fuel for future violence in revenge. Governments and other organizations which promote violence by proxy for whatever reason should be called out, they are simply creating the conditions for future suffering for their own people.
