You mean where they found weapons and a tunnel with an armored door with a firing port?

Yes, that one. The one where all that was behind that door was a room with 2 cots and a table, where Israel had claimed (complete with a fancy 3D animation) that there was an entire multi-level command center with tens of rooms, housing potentially hundreds of Hamas fighters. That one, that didn’t exist.

Or the al-Shifa hospital where a surveillance camera recording shows terrorists bringing in a hostage?

This is always such a weird argument. Yeah, of course Hamas brought the hostage there for treatment. They were trying to keep them alive. They’re also the government in Gaza, so it would be no different than Israeli military bringing one of their hostages to an Israeli hospital. Are you under the impression that hospitals that treat war wounded are military targets?

Let me ask you this: How should Israel have reacted to the terror attack on October 7? What would, in your eyes, an appropriate, justified response look like? Please be honest.

First I’d say that Netanyahu should stop giving funds to and allowing funds to flow to Hamas in order to prop them up as a bid to prevent a peaceful 2-state solution.

Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Then, I’d say they should have conducted a ground invasion backed with actually targeted strikes on Hamas targets using precision weapons that the US is so enamored with.

and also permitted foreign aid through the border crossing with Egypt

Permitted a pittance, after blocking all of it initially.

I’m not Israeli.

That just makes your caping for their genocide and ethnic cleansing even more ridiculous.
