October 7th was obviously far worse. But I don't think people would agree that police should stoop to same levels of criminals.

It wouldn't be considered a success if police stopped a bank robbery by killing bystanders.

What is following October 7th (so far, today included) is far worse. And worst of all, it won't be over anytime soon.

No. October 7th made me sympathize with Israel. What followed that made defending Israel impossible.
