    Self defense is balanced.

    Yes, it is. What else are they supposed to do?

    How many refugees does hamas have?

    What do you even mean by that?

    Further, Israel is retaliating against all Palestinians, not hamas.

    Hamas is " the government" of “Palestine”, im not exactly supporting letting the average person there starve to death, but what else is Israel supposed to do? Just give up? Hamas are the ones using their citizens as meat shield.

      Israel has not allowed Palestine to have an election in nearly two decades. Hamas cannot be said to represent Palestinians.

      2.3 million vs hundreds or even thousands is not balanced. Israel responding a thousand times as severely isn’t believable as self defense
