The side that's now being maimed and killed in the tens of thousands with no recourse, had nothing to do with October 7. The sides that are relevant here in the context of this ICJ case are the civilians of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the Government of Israel.

Would you have made the same comment if we were talking about apartheid in South Africa?

How about if we were talking about how slavery ought to be stopped prior to 1865?

Should we _always_ be looking to find the humanity in the other side, or is there something fundamentally different here?

Not trying to disrespect anyone here, but sometimes we need to ask ourselves tough questions.
