    Why do people keep calling revenge “defense”?

    Israel had a chance to defend itself. It failed horribly. Now it gets to massacre civilians?

    What the fuck?

      It’s like when the Nazis were attacked by the French Resistance in Occupied France and then went to some village and killed 10 random villagers for each dead German as reprisal.

      The main difference here is that the total ratio is already pass the 20-to-1 mark and 10-to-1 is the ratio of Palestinian children murdered by the Israel military for each Israeli murdered by Hamas.
