Original Note:
"the other side started it" is not an excuse for genocide https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide_justification#:~:text=Perpetrators%20often%20claim%20that%20genocide,be%20no%20excuse%20for%20genocide. And the attack was initiated by Mohammad Deif (military wing) not Sinwar (political leader in the Gaza Strip). Deif's wife and baby were killed by IDF, "who started it" always had a step before anyway.
