When October 7 happened few people dared to give context and said Israel had been oppressing Palestinians for 80 years. They were attacked for it. Because "that's not relevant and nothing can justify October 7".

But starting off every conversation about Israel starving a 3 year old child to death by first blaming Israel's entire genocide on October 7 is completely fine.

All while Israel kills more people than October 7 bi-weekly.

Doesn't sound too different from the US using 9/11 as a justification for murdering a bunch of civilians.

They called it their 9/11.
Similarly also an event they let happen, if not organised themselves as casus belli.
