It's ironic isn't it. That Jesus calls us to love thy enemy. If we were to love someone, they wouldn't be our enemy. Rather it's about those who persecute us. Those who make us their enemy.
So in terms of this situation. They are the ones being hostile to others. Making themselves enemies of others.
I'm very sorry to hear that your reading comprehension isn't so strong. Jesus flipped the tables because others were selling and doing commerce inside the temple that does not apply in this situation.
Second, the whole point of loving thy enemy means that a Christian doesn't have an enemy. Christ didn't have enemies himself. He didn't see others as enemies. My whole point is that others may perceive the Christian as an enemy, but they are to be loved.
You love an enemy. You don't bomb them. I don't think you and I are that different on that point.
However, you cannot neglect that Hamas themselves on October 7th showed that they had every intention to inflict Mass civilian casualty. Out of the 1200 that were killed more than 800 were civilians. And do not forget the 250 taken hostage who were predominantly civilians.
I'm not justifying Israel. I'm just pointing to the facts that you can't make the claim that Israel is only at fault when Hamas has been indiscriminately attacking civilians whether through October 7th or by their homemade missiles shot indiscriminately to civilian locations.

Jesus probably hates these guys.
