They retaliated in kind to having their leader assasinated. What do you think the United States would have done if the previous ayatollah assasinated Trump? Or Israel would have done if they assisinated Netanyahu.

Your argument is farcical, misleading, and illogical. It’s petulant, naive, and uninformed.

I could write a whole Monty Python song with rhyming adjectives describing how stupid your argument is.

Is Hamas responsible for everything Israel has done during the current war then?

Surely 2000 people is more valuable than a leader, that was already dying and got replaced in not even 1 week.

Are the illegal immigrants who did bad things responsible for what ICE is doing?

You're responsible for what you do in self defense, if it hurts innocent people.

When someone threatens to punch you in the face for over 30 years, and then one day they walk up and punch you in the face, and you punch them back….

By your logic, you are the aggressor, not the person who punched you in the face after threatening to do so for 30 years.

No, when they punch you into face, and you respond with burning their whole neighborhood you're the aggressor.

So Israel is the aggressor?

In Israel vs. Hamas war? Yes

In Israel+the US vs. Iran+Proxies war? No

The world helped the US sanction and blockade Iran.

Now Iran is sanctioning and blockading the world.

Turnabout is fair play.
