culminating with the October 7 attack by Hamas soldiers, which was basically a bunch of wanton, orchestrated mass shootings of innocent families–from Israel and all over the world–while they attended concerts went out to dinner and stuff, killing and executing point blank some 1,200 people, and then kidnapping another 250.
That's bold-faced Israeli propaganda. 1139 people died, out of which 1/3 were IDF soldiers, and an unknown number of people were accidentally or intentionally killed by the IDF (see: IDF orders to not let Hamas soldiers return to Gaza "even if they had hostages"). And then we have the people who just died in the crossfire. Until evidence says otherwise, October 7 was a legitimate military attack against the Israeli occupation (not denying that many Hamas soldiers committed war crimes).
Now the whole place is unstable and nothing works.
That's just been Gaza for the past 18 years thanks to the blockade.
