I mean, that's basically what anyone supporting Hamas or excusing their actions is doing. They're using Israel's past violence to whitewash Hamas' atrocities against civilians. It's absurd and disgusting in that situation and it's just as ridiculous to think that taking action to starve 2 million civilians can be explained away easily.
Like I've said before, I imagine this is just a temporary measure before a ground invasion, so I don't think it'll ever get to the point where we see mass casualties because of a blockade. But the fact that people can sit there and say they don't see an issue with a long-term blockade that could effectively kill millions of civilians is pretty jarring. That sounds more like the Warsaw Ghetto than something a modern democratic country would do.
