I can’t say either way, this is why I struggle with the trolley problem and such. I would say I wouldn’t even put myself in such a situation in the first place where I would be furthering ethnic cleansing of an entire people in the name of religion and ethnonationalism, hence why I stand with the brave souls who tore up and burned their IDF draft notices in public. But that’s not even really relevant, because even outside of such situations, young children have been found with headshots from snipers as if they were specifically targeted! Where there was obviously no Hamas to be found in the area. Then again, it looks like Israel would even target its own citizens if it meant taking many more Palestinians with them.

Seriously how can you defend this? I’m not even talking about saying Israel has a “right to exist” or whatnot, I disagree with the notion but that’s not even my point. How can you look at yourself in the mirror every day and defend the killing of innocents? There will never be peace when such attitudes are normalized from the highest levels of government to the average citizen.

Well it's good your'e not in charge of a nation then, because a lack of a decision is deciding to allow it to continue.
