      October 7 involved the deliberate killing and kidnapping of civilians. That is not “resistance” under international law.

      Under Geneva Convention (ironically) IV: • Article 27 prohibits rape and sexual violence. • Article 32 prohibits murder of protected civilians. • Article 34 prohibits hostage-taking.

      Multiple independent investigations have documented sexual violence. Denying it does not make it disappear.
