They're not at war bro it's just a "special military operation" . Same thing the israelis have been doing for the last 75 years.
Israel formally declared war on Palestine.
On Palestine? Israel doesn't recognize Palestine.

They declared war against the government of Palestine, Hamas. There is effectively no difference
Hamas isn't the government of Palestine. That is the Palestinian Authority.
Hamas is the government in Gaza. The Palestinian Authority lost to Hamas who promptly canceled elections forever
Just say that Israel has declared war on Hamas. Not Palestine.
Wasn't that in response to the terrorism tho, making that terrorism very much not an act of war? Also Hamas didn't blow up a train line, they shot up a music festival. Your false equivalency is showing.
My only participation in this discussion is clarifying that Israel declared war.
The significance of which is exactly zero since it happened after the terror attack and the discussion up to that point was discussing the attack killing 1400 civilians by Hamas (before Israel declared war) as compared to Ukraine disrupting Russian supply lines (while currently at war).
I'm glad that was your only contribution, but if you can't see why I said what I said, I really don't think there's much hope in trying to explain :(
