Comparing tragedies is always pointless. (well… it’s a great way to piss off people, if that’s the goal)
Israeli actions cannot be justified based on any arithmetic consideration on the number of Israeli people killed on Oct 7th: that would just be retaliating against civilians (something the Nazi were rather keen on some 80 years ago… it must be said that AFAIK, even then, they “only” killed ten civilians for each of their own lost).
Military action in Gaza (“civilized” military action, not this massacre) would only have been justified if it was absolutely necessary in order to avoid further Israeli victims, and… I’ve not heard even one single person (left or right-leaning, expert or not) saying that in the coming decades, after the bloodbath is over, we are to expect a decline in the number of terror attacks against Israeli people.
