I condemn the killing of anyone.
I was commenting on the cause and effect. I am not interested in the history of the region in this in particular instance, because that’s a rabbit hole used to deflect.
The fact is on Saturday, terrorists invaded Israel and slaughtered hundreds of innocents, executed children in front of their families, raped young women and paraded their corpses, beheaded babies and toddlers, gunned down old ladies and burned children alive, if reports on the last claim are accurate.
There are verifiable pictures of ordinary Palestinians celebrating this.
So, if you’re asking me if I condemn Israel indiscriminately bombing Gaza, I do.
Are they indiscriminately bombing Gaza, I don’t know they may be targeting known Hamas buildings. Hamas hide amongst the innocents such is their cowardice.
Would Israel be doing this if Hamas hadn’t attacked?……no
In this instance who is to blame?……Hamas
Is Israel justified in retaliating? …….yes
That’s quite simple. Is a baby dying via an air strike or being beheaded any different, it’s still a dead baby right? Yes, it is ****ing different and if you can’t work out the difference you’re not right in the head.

I would like to stick to the subject matter in hand if you don't mind. My fear is that due to the lack of a moderating actor in this region, this could escalate way out of control. The US have sent a carrier battle group to the Middle East with the declared intent to aid Israel if required. Scary stuff ...

No, absolutely predictable. Who would be your “moderating actor”?
