    The bit where he lost me was “A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.”

    Really? After 10/7 how many Israelis have been killed by Hamas? 271?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel

    "Israel’s total casualty count is 1,410 killed. Of these, 1,139 were killed in the October 7 attacks.[citation needed]

    On 1 December, around 1,332[157] Israelis had been killed since 7 October (inclusive),[158] including 395 IDF soldiers, 10 Shin Bet agents and 59 police officers,[159] and at least 1,271 have been wounded.[160]"

    Well, gee, killing 395 active soldiers definitely justifies killing 40,000 innocent civilians. /s
