Note that the least you can say is that escalation is happening on both sides. Oct 7 level of atrocities has never been seen before in israel.

Yes. That is why I said: faced with larger threats

What I can add is that this is indeed not just a "larger" threat for them. It "activated" a millennium-deep Jewish trauma (through pogroms up to the Holocaust). Deep, very deep.

I think any country faced with the same situation would act the same, or even less restrained. It's not some kind of esoteric jewish trauma.

Maybe. However, the situation itself is so special, I'm not sure how you would "generalize it" to others. And there is really nothing esoteric about the deep trauma. It is widely documented.
