Nope. Don’t act like you didn’t understand the question. I said before 10/07.
Hamas has zero control of the West Bank yet all of what I just briefly described happened in the West Bank before 10/07.
Answer the actual question. Since “massacre of noncombatants, firing rockets into civilian populated areas, and taking hundreds of hostages” happened in the West Bank before 10/07 – how does that calculate in your assessment of who initiated this war?
