You mean the organization that Israel influenced the creation of through decades of mistreatment and mishandling of the situation? The same one Israel is on record saying it's a good thing as it allows Israel to treat Palestine as a hostile state? Basically exactly what they're doing now, killing anyone and everyone and just shrugging and saying "because hamas"?

"Israel is on record"? It's a country. A democracy at that, inherently made up of conflicting points of view and coalitions.

1% of the population dead = "killing anyone and everyone."

You sound hysterical and emotional.

Fine, Israel's leader/government, as elected by its population, is on record. Does that make it better?

1% of the population is a lot of people. That's tens of thousands of lives cut short. Kids who'll never grow up, families torn apart, etc. Should that not elicit emotion? There's plenty of videos of children and unarmed people trying to surrender or otherwise being shot. Seems like anyone and everyone to me.

Fun fact! Hysteria was originally thought to be a condition that only applied to women, hence the Greek root "hyster" for womb, as if that were the source of irrational emotion.
