I'm really confused by the tone of this. You are suggesting both that Israel massacred tens of thousands of non combatants and then also suggesting that Israel has been stymied from defending itself with this deal. I genuinely don't understand where this parody is supposed to be leading us lol.

It's a rhetorical device - running with bad logic so that those deploying such logic get the message a little better via forced empathy, seeing their own precedent/ narrative in a context they don't like. It highlights the hypocrisy of such logic. Like if Democrats were solely responsible for the ceasefire, how would Republicans react? They'd say Democrats are thwarting Israel's right to self-defense, want the terrorists to win, etc.

My intent was to suggest that the framing of “self defense” was applied to a lot of things that looked like offense. I may not have nailed it but thank you for making the effort!
