I have absolutely encountered this online and offline, a lot of people understand the attack as being justified by the oppressive conditions the Gaza strip was kept in. Personally I think it’s possible for two opposing things to both be bad/wrong.
Yup, in the eyes of those who support the October 7 attack, taking hostage of and killing foreign civilians–who have no dog in the race-- is completely justified. There are freedom fighters throughout history who consciously avoid killing foreigners and civilians, so it’s not like there is no precedence for Hamas not to follow.
