I think if Palestinians had nukes (or Iran), they would have already done this.

Israel exists. That bell can't be un-rung. Palestinians could have got used to that fact and tried to build a nation, instead they want to kill Jews (and it is Jews, not just Israelis).

Israel doesn't have clean hands in this, and could have done better as well. I've not heard of mass rapes by Israeli soldiers, though.

could have done better is the understatement of the century.

And how many rapes and to what level of systematicity do you need it to raise to your attention?

> During the ongoing Gaza war, Israeli male and female soldiers, guards, medical staff have reportedly committed wartime sexual violence against Palestinian women, children and men[1][2][3][4] including rape, gang-rape, sexualized torture and genital mutilation.[5][6][7][8][9]

If that's the case, the people responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

You escaped my question. I've asked you if by your own logic the October 7 attack was justified, and what would be the proportionate reaction to the ongoing genocide.

I don't believe there is an ongoing genocide. There is a shitty war in an urban environment.

You have again eluded my question.
