We shouldn’t be.
The only solution to the region is a Palestine that is prosperous and free. So long as people have nothing to lose, they will continue laying down their lives.

There is much more Israel should be doing. Not least is allowing travel between Gaza and the West Bank.

Israel own a 100m strip at the border. It can’t be opened unless Israel agrees.

It’s not just violence that leads to violence. Oppression and inequality also.

This isn’t a black and white moral issue in which something can be declared “justified” or “unjustified” and that’s the end of the matter.

The razing of cities has been seen as just and unjust by various people over human history. However, if the razing of axis cities has been conducted in the old fashioned way, by killing men women and children with hand held weapons, instead of bombs dropped from a distance, then the ≈650,000 deaths that resulted might be viewed differently.

It’s been this way for a long time. The terror bombing of German and Japanese cities and the way it was justified and seen as different from the atrocities the axis committed against civilians has caused the West to become brutal in a way it is blind to.

If a terrorist is someone who attacks civilians for political aims, then yes.

This is ethnic cleansing dressed up in the clothes of protecting civilians.
If they leave, they will never be allowed back to their homeland. If they don’t leave, they must be legitimate targets for bombing.
