The first casualty of war is the truth. Many of the atrocious events by Hamas are not as clear cut as originally reported. It looks like the primary goal of Hamas was to capture hostages for a large scale prisoner exchange. The IDF over reacted and to suppress the capture of hostages, killing both Hamas fighters and Israeli citizens. I am describing the situation, not absolving anything or anyone.
Only one side is credibly an existential threat to the other
Was Hamas genocidal on October 7th?

Look for the analysis by Scott Ritter on Youtube.

I do not think outright murder of civilians was the goal of the October 7th attack.
