It's equivalent in the results not the technical specs. In Israel they spent weeks sifting through the charred remains of the house to find at least a tooth of a child. People were gone on both sides. It's just for Palestinians most likely they are not going to get answers because it's impossible to sift trough millions of tons of earth and garbage. Germans have 2 million soldiers still MIA after 70 years of recovery…

In what world is Oct 7th and the resulting war equivalent for both sides?

That would be a reasonable question if the resulting war had been started de novo by Israel instead of it being a defensive war intended to prevent another October 7.

Even according to your quote, your rephrasing is inaccurate.

How is it inaccurate? Do you believe they would openly state "our mission is to protect Israel"? They have to use weasel words but in effect is the same: they will combat "ideological prejudice" which requires them to define "ideological prejudice" for their means and since it's combined with "as it impacts Israel" it's basically just weaseling the statement "we will protect Israel".
