‘so I am left to assume that Israel should just accept a force trying to launch attacks on civilians with the intent of killing them.’
That’s the type of strawmanning you have frequently denounced over the years, and rightly so. No one has said that, no one is implying it, and I suspect no one thinks it. It’s a sad state of affairs when you and JI can’t simply accept indignation of a few posters on Bru, shared by many around the world, about the Israeli government’s and IDFs actions in response to an inexcusable and horrific act. And yes, I am fully aware of how much you have decried their approach.
