Seriously - bunch of guys with AK47s, RPGs and hang gliders. Only Israeli casualties since Oct. 7 have been IDF in combat, as far as I'm aware. Hard to not to see the entire thing as Likud's intentional policy - starve and degrade an entire population for two decades, then commence straight to genocide (or whatever you want to call it) the second the extremist group running it (that you've been facilitating payments to!) attacks.

And then all mention of Israel's very short history being based on the displacement, and perpetual occupation/blockade, of the Palestinian population is also forbidden - and they attack the UN Secretary General for daring to mention the context, in the very same breath that he denounces Hamas's attacks. Whole world is just supposed to ignore that the state was founded on ethnic cleansing/land theft and pretend it's not continuing to this day.
