Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?

And literally nothing of that has anything to do with waht you wrote before.

Correct. It has to do with the thing that I quoted from your comment just before writing it

Again, you are unable or unwilling to accept, that "your side" can also be bad.

Not at all. I'm not a fan of the idf or Israeli government at all. The problem is that despite the fact that they do a lot of bad stuff they're at least wouldn't exterminate the other side of they (the other side) laid their weapons down tomorrow. If the idf laid their weapons down we would see more slaughter like October 7th followed by the forces and complete dissolution of the state of Israel. It doesn't excuse some of the things the idf does but it's what makes the idf the better of the two for whatever that's worth.

The Holocaust doesn't justify violence today, just as the Naqba doens't justifiy violence today.

The correct. What justifies violence is a valid argument that it's being done in self defense. And right now Israel definitely has that.
