Well you can be both a perpetrator and a victim

Was about to say. It should be 'Committing war crimes' and 'Also a victim' lol.

Having 1,200 of your countrymen slaughtered through terrorist violence makes you a victim. It doesn't give carte blanche to annihilate everything in your path for vengeance though.

You stop qualifying for sympathy when you as the victim decide to escalate in the name of revenge

I'm admittedly not well-versed in international affairs, but hasn't Israel been waiting for an opportunity to do exactly what they're doing for decades? We've armed them to the tooth, and that has always been at least a little concerning because we understood this to be their disposition. I fully expected some light genocide after hearing about the Hamas attack. It's looking like they might exceed expectations too. I'm a little shocked at our indifference.
