    fundamentally “but X does it too” is a whataboutism, Germany did the holocaust, does that mean we should have put the Germans in camps?

      Exactly, hence why answer is formulated in a way that we should not drop to others’ level and do something bad because others are doing something bar, as well.

        well since the Israeli government was doing it first, you could argue that Hamas is the one stooping down to their level, since the occupation and mistreatment of Palestinians in Gaza predates Hamas

          Yes, but they left. The reason why they were in Gaza was so attacks like 7th October don’t happen but they unilaterally left in 2005. Israeli government never has never done a full scale attack like Hamas since 1948.
