Does someone assaulting you have the right to protect himself against your self defense?

Sorry, there have been dozens of chances for Arabs to accept a peace deal. Again and again it was refused because it would allow Israel to exist. These nations are Arab. Some of them democratic. Overall aside from Egypt (and who knows where they actually stand now) the Arab nations around Israel have one goal that's been repeated by many protesters around the globe. "From the river to the sea" Arabs not only around Israel but around the world call for the total extermination of Israel and the Jewish people. I'm done with tankies batting for them because Israel is backed by the US. Israel has a right to exist. And it has a right to defend itself against Arab aggression.

And I don't appreciate your lack of knowledge of the history of the conflict. It's been Arabs vs. Israel for every single war between them. The "Arab Liberation Army" (look up the logo, and yes, Arab not Palestinian) was one of the first major armies fighting Israel. The non Jewish people in the area that was the Mandate for Palestine considered themselves Arabs and not Palestinian. After the Liberation War it was the Arabs that expelled the Jews from their lands. Iraq, Jordan, Yemen and others suppressed and expelled their Jewish population after losing the war against Israel. Calling people racist for calling out Arabs for their antisemitism is laughable at best.

That's the difference between the two sides. The Arabs want Israel gone and the Jews killed. Israel doesn't have a problem with Arabs as long as they accept their existence.

The extermination of Palestinians clearly isn't their goal. Allowing the population of Palestinians to grow from 1 million to 5 million would otherwise look pretty foolish.

But why is Egypt refusing to let them in? Maybe because they don't want to deal with Hamas either?

A population growing to 5 times the size it was before clearly does not fit the definition of genocide. Am I agreeing with how Palestinians are treated? No. But calling it a genocide when the population has been growing and growing is ridiculous.

The comment about the west I'll ignore because it makes you look like a tanky.

Because they seemed to care about that during any of the wars they fought against Israel.

The real reason (according to everything I found) Egypt keeps the border closed is because they don't seem to want to deal with Hamas and not because Israel is telling them to.

I'm not arguing for Israel being the good guy, just for genocide to be melodramatic. They treat them like enemies, which with a support of 60%+ for hamas which declared goal is to drive all Jews (not only the rightwing asshats) into the sea.

Hamas and many Palestinians celebrate the deaths of Jewish civilians. Since even before Israel existed there have been multiple attempts to bring all sides together. There were offers where Palestine would've been its own nation with the capital being in eastern Jerusalem. They refused every single time. You want intent? The clear intent of hamas is the extermination of every single Jew in the region without exception. Both sides are bad and the Israeli government is far from innocent. But I only see one group celebrating when civilians get killed. And I only see one group thinking the Holocaust didn't go far enough.

Then holocaust deniers can't read stats. As it took the Jewish population in Germany until 2018 to grow back to 1/5 of what it was in 1933.

Is the Israeli government being dickheads about Gaza? Definitely. But calling it a genocide seems melodramatic seeing as there's now 5 times the amount of people there was 60 years ago.

And honestly, if what being done in Gaza qualifies as genocide, where's the hate for Egypt? They keep the border closed too. But for some reason only Israel gets blamed. Why isn't Egypt stepping up supplying aid?
