The gaslighting just won't stop. Terrorists invaded Israel with the explicit purpose to commit genocide against jews, any attempt to fight back against that is criticized. A huge chunk of the whole world just seems to feel like Israel "deserved it", and they should just take it lying down.

1000 people are going to commit genocide against a country of 7 million? Try to have some sense of the scale of things here.

So because they weren't successful at wiping out every jew, which was their intention, they get a pass? That's unrealistic.

It's not that it wasn't successful, it's that it wasn't within their capability. So getting upset about something that's impossible in order to justify mass slaughter is an exercise in excuse making.
