On the other hand, well, do I really have to explain why the shit that happened on October 7 is morally indefensible? Especially with the attack on the Supernova Sukkot Festival, where Hamas decided that they weren’t going to differentiate between enemy combatants and people who just wanted to dance like pricks to trance music?

Thanks for this. 

Yes, it's possible for an act to be a response to a previous act, and also morally indefensible. This is how things escalate and then never end.

"An eye for an eye" was actually meant to limit such spirals -- when they put out your eye you can get equal revenge but then you have to stop. But we've been past that point for a long time now.
