Israel is just fighting a war now, and they did a lot to avoid it.

That's just not true, though. Netanyahu's goal was to intentionally provoke war with Hamas through acts such as West Bank settlement - his government is the most aggressively pro-settlement in recent history - to boost popularity within his far right coalition who reject a two-state solution and want to see Israel annex the West Bank. Netanyahu is being tried for corruption and desperately needs to keep the far right of his coalition on-side to avoid going to prison. By remaining in power, he can attempt to change Israel's judicial system to stack it in his favour to give himself the best possible chance of avoiding imprisonment.

Imagine punching somone in the face for decades, they strike back and you bawl abiut them starting it.

It's like a domestic violence sufferer finally striking back after years of abuse.

genocide is base of Palestiian politics, not Israel.

Israel has been a genocidal state for decades. They've just become more "mask off" recently thanks to the casus belli provided to them by an event which anyone could have told you was an inevitable result of Israeli policy. (Policy that literally included propping up Hamas specifically because they're more extreme than PA and thus were more likely to destabilise things, which Netanyahu had no interest in.)

UN, just another example of "out of touch and destructive"

Love how you just make up irrelevant bullshit because it's convenient to your genocidal mindset.

Note that I didn't say anything about what the UN thinks. I mentioned that the vast majority of countries in the world recognise Palestine. I just used UN membership as a proxy for what counts as a country. A convenient but imperfect definition (for example, Palestine and Taiwan).
