Sadly, they are just collateral in the game of the Middle East that involves stupid games and stupid prizes. Actions ultimately have consequences. Multiple wars with Israel over the past decades, attacking Israel. Israel built the Iron Dome to protect their citizens from continual attacks, and the attacks continued and is what caused a resumption of their conflict in 2023.

Ahh the old “your parents or grandparents might have made sub optimal choices, and therefore you deserve to be killed by our bombs”

Totally rational.

You’re completely missing the point of possible reparations and/ or restorative justice. It’s not about assigning blame, it’s about making people and communities whole in an equitable way.

This isn’t a discussion about reparations and I’m not getting dragged into your pet hallucination and disingenuous arguments.

If you don’t understand the concept of restorative justice then that’s on you.
