A thousand Israelis were killed because a large raiding party of murderers used their agency as human beings to kill them. It’s as simple and dreadful as that.

It was Israel’s blind spot, not mine. The role and purpose of the state is to defend its people, it’s perfectly possible to criticise the failings of the state without blaming the victims on an individual level.
Somewhat ironic that you give the IDF a free pass on the agency front under the pretence of having a strategic or calculated objective.
