      You said,

      It wasn’t an armed conflict until they began it on October 7th.

      I disagreed with that assessment. What’s so hard for you to understand?

        There was no fighting going on at the time. It was not an armed conflict at the time. Just because they had an armed conflict at times before that doesn’t mean that was what was happening at that time.

        India and Pakistan have gone to war multiple times. That doesn’t mean they’re always at war.

          What an absurd comparison. Palestinians in Gaza were under an ongoing military siege by Israel. That looks absolutely nothing like a border between two independent sovereign states. It’s laughable that you would think otherwise.

          Edit: Just so you understand how utterly wrong you are, here’s an article about Israel bombing Gaza just weeks before October 7th.

          Articles like this one are just a search away. Maybe take five seconds and do that before making wildly inaccurate claims next time.

            Gaza is not an independent sovereign state? I think the residents there might dispute that.

              What a pedantic and useless argument. Palestinians want a sovereign state. The international community recognizes that they have a right to one. However, Israel violates that right every day therefore deny Palestinians a truly sovereign state.

              Honestly, stop pretending you know anything about the plight of the Palestinian people. You showed your ignorance by claiming there was not violent conflict immediately prior to October 7th.

                  You were wrong about the state of the conflict prior to October 7th. You refuse to admit it and now you want to sidestep your own ignorance through semantics and pedantry. Have fun with that.
