    Taking your same logic, every citizen of every country is responsible for whatever that country does. That means all of the grievances the people of Gaza have are the responsibility of every citizen of Israel.

    Your advocating the doctrine of Total war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_war

    Lots of civilians die in Total war. On both sides. Using this logic everyone’s going to die

      No, every voting eligible citizen in a democratically elected government is responsible for a war of aggression. They are giving consent to the war of aggression. That is how democracy works: you the citizen decide your own governance, and you are not magically absolved of responsibility for the actions of the government you elected.
