If no Mossad failure dubbed as Israel's 9/11 then,
1. No infiltration of Israel's supposedly impenetrable Fort Knox security
2. No entering Israel itself breaching all Israel's security barriers, measures in place, Iron Dome etc.
3. No Hamas murderous surprise attack on Israeli soil
4. No 1,200 Israeli civilians slaughtered
5. No taking of more than 200 hostages
6. No destruction of the “kibbutzim” including may have booby-trapped with explosives
7. No war raging on for more than eight months
8. No forced to negotiate with terrorists
9. No accusations of genocide and crimes against humanity
10. No pro-Palestinian demonstrations worldwide
11. No antisemitism on the rise Disgraceful
12. No ICC and ICJ action
13. No UN blacklisting IDF -- Israel is believed to be the first democratic country included in the black list
14. No destabilization of Israel's economy, political turmoil, civil unrest
15. No dwindling support of allies -- with friends! like this....
16. It is remarkable indeed 4 hostages rescued alive after 8 months but at what cost?
17. over 100 still in captivity. How many are still alive

All ethical, right-minded people are against terrorism. I too would never endorse it, in any way, shape or form, anywhere
It is the innocent civilians indeed -- Palestinian in particular between a rock and a hard place -- paying the price
