    The Gaza strip is within Israel’s borders. They hold direct power over whether the people who live there have electricity water and food.

    Israel is not defending itself. They are using hamas attacks as a pretext to commit mass violence on Palestinians.

      Of course Israel is defending itself against a homicidal organization. The fact it’s in Israel’s borders is irrelevant.

        Its very relevant. Is depriving all 2 and a half million palestinians of food water and electricity self defense? Is bombing palestinian homes an act of self defense? Is depriving palestinians of human rights an act of self defense?

        Self defense is not murdering innocent people. It never is no matter what. They’re using the attack from hamas as a pretext to commit mass acts of violence against innocent Palestinians.
