You missed the point :

Russia invades and terrorises the Ukrainian civilians. We punish Russian civilians aka collective punishment.

Hamas invades Israel and terrorises Israeli civilians. Israel punishes Gaza civilians aka collective punishment.

In the first case we are OK. In the second case we scream at Israel (the OP post) "Collective punishment is war crime!!"

We. Are. Hypocrites.

Please, by all means, inform the class what "collective punishments" Russian Citizens are currently facing that are directly equivalent to what Israel is doing.

You won't because you're a 🤡 and you know it.
