> It’s very natural to want to return the same in kind

They didn't return the same in kind. Compare the "stats" of Oct 7 vs what Israel did over the next 2 years.

If you think that what happened on Oct 7 justified such a response, then you should shudder at the thought of what is justified in a merely proportional response to Israel's response. Proportionality being the foundation of justice and all that.

  • Those are some serious claims there. It's been 2 years and all the captured people have been returned to Israel. Still no actual proof of such claims that are casually repeated by pro-Israeli media. Not even mere supporting testimonies by those who were held captive.

    Anyway, you dodged nearly the entirety of my comment. You know very well what a proportional response to what Israel has done would be.

    • > It's been 2 years and all the captured people have been returned to Israel

      No. The IDF retrieved some people and some bodies, sometimes Hamas returned live people, sometimes bodies like the Bibas babies they beat to death, sometimes other bodies that they pretended were the victim.

      Most are from the victims. You can listen to the testimony of these people, in many cases via video:

      Arbel Yehoud was sexually assaulted almost every single day during her 482 days in captivity by her captors (Palestinian Islamic Jihad, affiliated with Hamas operations). https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-886646

      Romi Gonen endured repeated sexual assault and harassment over 471 days. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/04/middleeast/israeli-hostage-ga...

      Multiple former hostages reported systematic sexual violence; a Dinah Project report documented 13 women and 2 men experiencing or witnessing it. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/middleeast/hostages-gaza-sexu...

      Yes because it was disgusting. Maybe after reading this you should acknowledge that and apologise?

      > You know very well what a proportional response to what Israel has done would be.

      Hamas risking the lives of its own people to save some fictional hostages the IDF has not kidnapped?

      Likewise, you haven’t acknowledged that IDF having a proportional response would be a drug fuelled death and rape rampage like Hamas did.

      It seems like you support the Axis forces because more Germans died than British people. Israel defending its population from Hamas attacks doesn’t make Hamas good.

      Seriously: listen to the victims and fix your life. Or better yet maybe Dang can do something about this new account.
