There are reports which state that Oct 7th did not go the way the Israeli government said it did. Some reports say that Israeli officials fabricated many things, like the rapes and the beheaded babies...etc. And reports state that Israeli armed forces have admitted to killing masses of its own citizens as it opened fire on Hamas and the hostages in its usual indiscriminate way or through using Israel's "Hannible Directive" which calls for the murdering of hostages, rather than letting them be taken. So, who really did what on Oct 7th? How much of it was completely fabricated, in order for Israel to justify the completion of its decades long aim to finish stealing Palestine and finish getting rid of the resisting Palestinians?
And we must realize that this conflict did NOT start on Oct 7th, like Israel has been pretending. Regardless of the details, the real truth is that the Hamas side of Oct 7th was a violent reaction to the decades of violence and oppression that Israel had been inflicting upon the Palestinians. Because of Israel's long chain of violence against the Palestinians, on the Palestinian lands, in my eyes Israel bears the responsibility far more than Hamas, for Oct 7th and all other violent strikes back at Israel. You can't be stealing from and bullying and killing and mutilating and unjustly imprisoning people and expect to not have some negative reactions from some of them. Human beings can only take so much.

Can October 7th be justified? I have no doubt that some members of the Palestinian Resistant group (Hamas) did some wrong things in the past, as well as on Oct 7th. But what really happened on Oct 7th and why? What is the full truth? We need to know the full truth, and what lead up to it, in order to make a fair judgment.
The way I look at it is that... ALL OF THE VIOLENCE, ON BOTH SIDES, COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED THROUGH ISRAEL HAVING THE DECENCY TO TREAT THE PALESTINIANS WITH KINDNESS AND CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR NEEDS AND THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR HOMES AND THEIR LANDS AND THEIR LIVES...ETC. BUT ISRAEL DIDN'T AND THIS IS HORRIBLY SAD FOR ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HURT ON BOTH SIDES.
In general; I'm an anti-war person. So, I feel that killings, that are not fully necessary, for only genuine self defense against the specific individuals who are attacking, cannot be justified. And the side that attacks first, or does things to provoke attacks, is always more wrong. In my opinion, this applies to Israeli people just as much as it applies to Palestinian and all other people.
