    They stopped being justified when they started bombing vital civil infrastructure. So basically an initial response and targeted bombing of Hamas would have been justified, but not indiscriminate bombing.

      Exactly! As soon as they started bombing everything and using safe zones to group up civilians to bomb them easier, I was done listening to anyone suggesting they were jUsT dEfEnDiNg ThEmSeLvEs. You don’t bomb civilians and children and you don’t bomb the places you’ve outlined as refugee safe zones, medical units, or journalists. Bunch of fucking monsters.
