"improvised weapons to resist an oppressive force" Ok, how many of those killed or otherwise wounded by Hamas are IDF (the oppressive force) and how many are civilians?

Did you study to be able to miss the point this hard, or did it come naturally to you? You look at the wild disparity between Palestinian deaths & Israeli deaths & this is your question? FYI, broadly more active military are killed, actually, unlike in Gaza where it's mostly Palestinian civilians,
including literally thousands of children. & of course this doesn't take into account that the vast majority of Israeli adults have served in the IDF, & hundreds of thousands are reservists. But you're just looking for a reason not to care that Palestinians are dying, so off you fuck, now ππΌππΌππΌ
It's really telling that I say something that bids you question whether the violence is worth defending wholesale or whether some of it can and should be condemned, and your assumption is I don't care that Palestinians are dying. I ask the question because you're using the same logic Israel is.
You cannot take the position that Palestinians are justified in striking down innocents under the guise of "fighting an oppressor" any more than you can take the position that Israelis are justified in striking down innocents because they "support a terrorist regime."
There are two armed groups using the deaths of their people as justification to murder unarmed people on the other side. Fuck the both of them; Israel needs to be stopped and condemned, but that doesn't mean you need to justify aggression against civilians.
