That's totes rhetoric: what you wrote there is a sarcastic false dichotomy to make a point seem obvious — a leading question.
Ironically, given I now know which side you think you're taking, that bit you're proud enough of to quote, defends Israel's behaviour by suggesting the only possible alternative to their current actions was to simply accept Hamas' previous attack.
I was pointing out the hypocrisy of telling the world they should look away from what's being done in Palestine because war is dirty, but should sympathise with Israel after Hamas's awful attack, because war is dirty.
You don't care about Palestinians but you expect the world to care about Israel, despite committing obvious warcrimes.
I very much want peace for both sides, a stable society and good life for everyone, Arab and Israeli. You clearly don't share that wish. You have no morals, no moral authority, and what you are doing is putting Israel's future at greater risk than Hamas could, but you're so shortsighted and self-centred you're blinded to that.
Again with the arguing against a totemic representation in your own head, rather than reality.
My position[0] is: When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
[0] which may or may not have anything to do with the down-voters you complain about: I didn't vote, I don't know who did or what they think and; as I said earlier, what you wrote initially looks like something each of the big groups on this topic can find something disagreeable with.
And the reality is...? What? Be specific.

So ignore what other people think - make your own point based on facts.
