From heaven to hell in less than 24 hours

We had a wonderful Rosh HaShanah and Shabbat at Adamah's Pearlstone Campus, with leaders and teachers from Hadar and its Jewish-music affiliate, the Rising Song Institute.  We prayed and sang our hearts out, and got well fed, too.  😀

And now, here we are, one day after leaving Pearlstone, commemorating the mass murders, rapes, and kidnappings of October 7, 2023.  😢

Honestly, I just don't understand it.  If the world considers bombings, which can kill civilians as well as militants, a war crime, and also considers assassinations that target terrorists specifically and minimize civilian casualties (as in the pager and walkie-talkie attacks against known Hezbollah members) a war crime, what do they mean when they say that Israel is allowed to defend itself?
