Irrelevant. It's the explicitly stated goal hamas to destroy Israel. Until that changes Israel should do all it can to defend itself against a rabid enemy.

So you have already answer your own question. Israel should do all it can to defend itself against a rabid enemy.
So no other answer will be accepted by you, so why do you ask us if it can be done differently, if you already have your answer?

Yes justified not ok. Hamas committed war crimes in pursuit of their goal to destroy israel. Unless Israel responds in kind hamas will destroy Israel. You would prefer Israel sit down and shut up and accept destruction?
Here it is again. You support Israel committing genocide because someone else did it too.

Israel is perfectly capable of protecting itself without committing war crimes.

It's entirely relevant to the point under discussion.

Just because they want to, doesn't mean they can.
I want to end world hunger. Doesn't mean I can.

Because you're the one complaining about how mean Israel. You claim you want Israel to be able to defend itself but not commit war crimes while doing so. Great! Explain who they do they do that against a rabid enemy that wants to destroy them. It's your criteria so explain how you would like Israel to respond.

No but nuts justified

Ok. Explain how Israel protects itself with committing war crimes. Be very specific.

It is too simple. Because sometimes people have to be treated differently, because they are different. That is the point.

Can you give an example of a physically and mentally healthy individual for whom the Golden Rule would not work?

I can't. You are right Hamas will destroy Israel no matter what!!! Israel can't defend itself in any way possible, as saying that they want to destroy Israel makes it a fact that it will happen. You are so right!!!
You won!!! Words are magical and will always happen!!! There is no way I can't argue against that.

You haven't shown a stitch of evidence.

My evidence is the explicit statement from Hamas that they seem the destruction of Israel.
You're bickering over rhetorical fantasy meanwhile over 70% of Gaza has been destroyed. It's been turned into a moonscape.

Well, since I am not such a human, you have just proved my point, because you only include some humans and not all humans.
Well in general laws and policies are designed for healthy individuals. We do not - for example - allow murder, even if murder feels fine for a few individuals.

So since I am not mentally and physically healthy I am no different than a murderer? Is that your argument?

It's become apparent that you don't understand the meaning of that word.

I suggest investing in a dictionary.
You can drone on all you like, people use "ok" all the time as an acknowledgement and not as approval or agreement. You can't seem to accept that.

Now once hamas no longer wants to destroy Israel then Israel won't be justified in responding in kind to their rabid enemy
