"In the 1987 movie, The Untouchables, Jim Malone (Sean Connery) advised Elliott Ness (Kevin Kostner), They Pull A Knife, You Pull A Gun. He Sends One Of Yours To The Hospital, You Send One Of His To The Morgue."
So, what you call for here is an extremely disproportionate response. So how much is enough for you? 1200 Israelis were killed and 250 kidnapped. So, is 100 to 1 enough (150k Palestinians dead)? 1000 to 1 (1.5M Palestinians dead)? At 3000 to one, you are calling for complete extermination. Again, how much is enough for you?

"In size and population, Israel's neighbors outnumber her by a factor of 100."
7M Israelis ... 700M neighbors? Who are you including here?
"I never advocated for the extermination of anyone, even though factions across the Middle East have called for and pledged the annihilation of all Israelis."
Let's be honest here -- there is no small number of Israelis that have called for to total extermination of the Palestinians. (https://imemc.org/article/21527/)
