Who is arguing that Israel fighting back is wrong? Almost everyone recognizes that Israel has the right to self defense, but most people who think that also believes their response is at least disproportionate.

Most of the world thinks that. They would also take issue with you characterizing what Israel is doing as "fighting back" and "self defense". Self-defense is when you steal land, ethnically cleanse the inhabitants, force them into a small area, then besiege them there for decades, and then blow the whole place up. Because some of them dared take up arms and broke out. You know, self defense!

Literally in the next sentence I make it obvious I don't believe this is the case. And this is upvoted. Amazing how irrational people can be.
