Yeah, I know. My phrasing was bad. I meant they're being praised for fighting Germany and stopping thr Holocaust, not that they entered WWII to stop the Holocaust. I was trying to point out the ridiculousness of criticizing a country trying to stop genocide happening close to it.
Which one? Clearly anything Hamas does is justified retaliation, so Israel is retaliating enough just there won't be significant retaliation.
No? They definitely weren't justified in raping and killing civilians in October 7th. However, as an oppressed and occupied people, they have a permanent casus belli against Israel until the latter starts taking serious steps towards peace, so the act of attacking Israel on October 7th (remember that 66% of the dead were military or security targets; they didn't just kill some civilians and leave) itself is a legitimate act of resistance.

im pretty sure internationally recognized terrorism isn't considered to be justified or retaliation, but it's the middle east, so that's something that sort of just, happens sometimes. That would probably explain why israel is reacting so violently.
