I'm from Indonesia and I want to share something. So, Indonesia was occupied and colonized by the Dutch for more than 100 years. It was very brutal, and the native population were subjected to unfair treatment and dehumanization. And then in 1945-1947, there was an event deemed similar to 7 oct for the dutch, but on a scale that is far far more destructive than 7 oct. The event was called 'Massa Bersiap Massacre 1945-1947' (google for more details). During that period, the natives were finally revolted against the colonizer (dutch) by massacring any dutch people that the Indonesians could find. They went from house to house and massacred the dutch inside, it was literally a killing spree. Tens of thousands of dutch settlers were killed during the Massa Bersiap Massacre. But do you know what's interesting? The Indonesian government and dutch government never declared the perpetrators as terrror***ists, because they understood the situation. There is no justification for any massacres or killing of innocent people, but in this context, it is understandable why the natives did that, because the dutch were occupying and torturing them for too long! Oh, btw, during the dutch occupation, the natives were called as 'pro-republican terro***rists, extremists, radicals, etc'. This is also what happened during 7 oct in occupied palestine, even though it was found later on that most of the victims of 7 oct were military reservists and they were k**illed by IDF during crossfires. In conclusion, what happened on 7 oct is unjustifiable but understandble considering the brutal occupation and siege by israel against the native population (palestinians/semites). So if you dont want 7oct to happen again, the answer is easy, stop the occupation, treat palestinians as equal human beings, give them rights as humans and make peace with them instead of carpet bombing them on a daily basis 👍🏻
