Kuwati Muslim Arab is saying what we all know:

Terror attack in Israel:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/another-two-injured-in-shooting-in-suspected-attack-in-central-israel/
Targeted only civilians like always
1 is already killed 4 injured

I mean, Israel is carrying out airstrikes daily in Gaza, and there are so many terror attacks, by Israeli's, in the west bank, that one could literally list the terrorist attacks by naming every day of the week.

1. Yesterday, June 6th, Israeli forces opened fire on a car in the occupied West Bank, killing a seven-month-old boy and wounding his parents. Also yesterday, an Israeli attack on a Gaza City tent camp killed at least 8 Palestinians and wounded about a dozen others, including children.
2. June 5th - Israeli drone strike near Khan Younis killed a young woman and injured 15 others. Multiple strikes, 10 people killed in another strike.
3. June 4th - Israeli strikes on residential buildings kills 10, 5 from one family.
4. June 3rd - Israeli strike kills 3 in refugee camp
5. June 2nd - 4 people reported killed in separate locations.
6. June 1st - Airstrike on a cafe, killing two, wounding a dozen more.

In total, 35+ people killed over the last 6 days and dozens more injured, I mean come on.
Israeli gov officials previously stated "For every person killed...50 Palestinians must die."and then I read there is a target threshold of 1:100. what this means is, its ok to kill 99 Palestinians for every one Israeli but if 100 Palestinians are killed for 1, it might be problematic. Really? you dont say.

I mean, just wow.

With brevity. I can and do condemn the terrorist attack that you outlined, but can you condemn all of the above? I have read extensively about this siege mentality that exists in Israeli culture, but Israel is not defending itself at the moment. It is Gaza and the West Bank that are undersiege, and they cant defend themselves. It is the Palestinians who are facing an existential crisis. Israel is systematically terrorising Gaza and the West Bank and there is a mountain of evidence to support this. If Israel has a right to exist surely the Palestinians do as well?

even if they systematically erased hamas, they cannot stop radicals from re grouping and re arming. there will never be peace.

classic "whataboutism” there is a massive, fundamental difference between a tragedy of war and a terrorist attack, and trying to equate the two is a total moral failure.
Every single Israeli strike is aimed at a military target a rocket launcher, a tunnel, or a terror cell. When civilians die in Gaza, it is a horrific tragedy of a war that Hamas started and chooses to fight from behind human shields. Israel doesn't wake up in the morning aiming to kill Palestinian civilians; if it did, the casualty numbers would look vastly different.
By contrast, the shooter today didn't look for a military outpost. He looked for a crowded bus stop of innocent people. His entire goal was to murder civilians. That isn't collateral damage; it’s pure, deliberate terrorism.
As for your '1:100 threshold' claim that is complete internet fiction. No official Israeli policy dictates a quota of civilian deaths. The IDF actively warns populations to evacuate areas before strikes something no actual terrorist group has ever done.
Palestinians absolutely have a right to exist, but they do not have a right to execute Israelis on the street. Expecting Israel to just sit back and take these attacks without dismantling the infrastructure behind them is a privilege only people watching from a safe distance can afford.

Former prime minister of Israel Golda Meir once said that Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us.

You say 'you're welcome' because it's easier to drop a sarcastic one-liner than to actually address the reality of a war zone.
But your refusal to see the difference between a terrorist intentionally hunting down people at a bus stop and the tragic collateral damage of targeted military strikes is exactly why this conflict doesn't end.

Read what quoted to IROK,Decades ago, Golda Meir summed up this entire tragedy perfectly when she said: 'Peace will come when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us.
She followed it up with something even more profound: When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive them for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons‘
That is the entire conflict in a nutshell. Israel didn't want this war, didn't choose this war, and doesn't celebrate civilian casualties. But as long as the other side's leadership prioritizes destroying Israel over building a future for their own kids, Israel will choose survival every single time. Have a good one

you are ignore the terror being inflicted in the west bank by israel. why is that?
i mean i get it re: gaza, but what about the west bank?

I’m not ignoring the reality; I’m looking at it through a brutal security lens instead of academic theory.
Substituting raw emotion for strategy doesn't change the facts. A nation under fire cannot base its survival on how its defense looks on television. My arguments stand because they are rooted in an undeniable truth: a country's absolute priority is the physical safety of its people.
We can debate the tragic cost of war all day, but until there is a leadership on the other side that values building a future more than destroying ours, Israel’s only logical choice is to secure the border. That isn't ignoring the problem it's dealing with it as it actually exists.
