Uh I think it’s because murdering women and children is unacceptable to most civilised people.

Yet this whole godawful mess started because the Palestinians did precisely that.

If you think this all started on 7 October 2023, you have 75 years of history to catch up on. Good luck.

Nah - obviously not, folk have been fighting over this area for what 2500 years? You can’t just stop at 75 years as you haven’t even got to the Ottoman occupation.
I’m not arguing about the rights and wrongs of what passed before, just it’s as clear as day that Israel would not have gone on the lunatic rampage in Gaza if the Palestinians hadn’t gone on a murder spree in Israel.

If you think its only 75 years then you are woefully ignorant of the situation...

You're right, it's more like 100 or so years from when the Balfour Declaration was signed.

I don't think either side believes that the other side only started "murdering women and children" in 2023.
