Of course they are also the victim. Hamas slaughtered adults and children with no remorse. Now Israel is returning the favor.

Both sides are aggressors and victims.

If someone shoots your dog and then you go to their house and shoot their dog. Are you justified? Perhaps. But you are still shooting a dog. And that makes you a dog killer.

2 wrongs do not make a right. Never will.

yeah they aren't shootin up the dog, they are slaughtering their entire family and burning their home, the proportions are a bit off here

Isn't that what the commenter above you just said.

both sides are the victims and the aggressors.

How many Americans were killed by Nazi Germany vs the other way around?

Intentions and moral frameworks matter, not only the sheer numbers of casualties.
