~2900 fanatics crossed into Gaza October 7th. Seeing as that's what the sentence describes, that's the number I used. What would you like me to do? Lie about the attack so you can more easily justify killing innocent people in revenge?

Also, it's interesting that you pulled 90% out of the air, Because it turns out that, 90% of Palestinians disbelieve or are unaware of the reports of atrocities committed by Hamas. They think it was a military strike, not a massacre. And anybody who understands the situation in Gaza can understand why somebody living there would approve of a military strike against Israel. Absolutely no antisemitism is required. Just as no anti-white racism is required to understand why the slaves had a problem with white America.

But even if you want to claim that all 2.1 million men, women and children in Gaza are mindless bloodthirsty maniacs brainwashed by antisemitic ideology, a claim only a racist and an idiot could believe, you still can't destroy that ideology with bombs. At least unless you're willing to commit to an indisputable genocide. Not only of the Palestinians in Gaza, but also of the Palestinians in the West Bank. Which, to be fair, I suspect Netanyahu is.

One point of agreement though. You can't beat terror by trying to normalise it. I'm not trying to normalise it. I'm trying to explain that you also can't kill and oppress people for decades and expect them to care when terrorists attack you.
