The oct 7 attacks were vile and indefensible, people believe the israeli response to be disproportionally violent though. Me sitting in my western country don't have enough info to really pass judgement though. Expect downvotes.

Israels actions can be considered disproportionate and really really bad and Hamas can at the same time be considered to be a terrorist organisation that execute terrorist attacks against civilians. One bad thing doesn't automatically cancel out another bad thing.

Grown-ups knows that two things can be considered bad at the same time.

There's a lot of toddlers on Lemmy....

If you have the ability, a disproportionate response is the correct response. Anything less puts your own people at unnecessary risk.

By that logic Palestinian civilians should wipe Israel off the map.

By that logic Israel should be using nuclear weapons. After all, they “have the ability” and “anything less” would put their citizens at unnecessary risk.

This is MAD style thinking. If there is a great filter in civilization development it's absolutely related to following hateful and destructive paths like the one you suggest.
