The horrific massacres were the fault od the Israeli government, and their actions. If you actually read into the history, into kneecapping, into how “settlers” work, into how Palestinians are being treated, how insane the border restrictions are (no cement, because it could be used for military purposes! No velcro because it could be used for military purposes!), the sea blockade, the fact that Gaza’s food was largely based on fishing (and they banned all fishing equipment getting in - ya know, military purposes), while fishermen are forbidden to fish freely due to the blockade, you kind of start to see a pattern of “we’ll do what we want to Palestine and they can roll over and die”.
