Hamas knew that Israel will retaliate, they placed their military activities specifically into civilian places to either prevent their opponent to fight back while they are killing them and if they fight back they have to get through Hamas’ meat shields. Palestinian knows it (you can find interviews before Oct.7th with Palestinian in Gaza agreeing with the idea) you know it, Israel knows.
Israel also knows that they have limited amount of time to eliminated as much of Hamas as possible before international community turns against them. They play with time and balance on edge.
It sucks, it’s sad and should have never happened. But it’s in no way black and white situation.
If an attack is emanate from a group of terrorists and you are certain to save countless lives, but one or two innocent people are collateral damage, then I think we can understand that it isn’t black and white. Heck, in those scenarios not only do those innocent people die, but you then pay a few million to their families for their losses.
When you instead are leveling a city, blowing up ambulances and hospitals and you literally have one of the most advanced air defense systems in the world on your side, and you’re killing close to over tens of thousands of innocent people to save a hundred or even two hundred, then it is black and white.
If someone stabs your mum you don’t have an excuse to kill innocent people. The person that stabbed your mom put your mom in harms way and no one else. If you kill innocent people as a result that is your fault and no one elses.
Hamas caused Israel to kill innocent civilians and blow up ambulances and hospitals? Isn’t that like an abuser saying… “Look what you made me do!”?

After the abuse victim stabbed his mother, that is
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but Hamas is certainly not innocent, unlike all the people they are deliberately putting in harm’s way
