how does this stack up with the justification for the actions in Gaza?
Most by the IDF - but a large number by armed settlers out for murder and destruction in West Bank villages and bedouin settlements. This has been going on for years, but more recently the IDF have moved to support these attacks instead of standing passively on the sidelines not intervening.

Since the recent Hamas atrocities the far right government has been issuing press releases to boast about handing out tens of thousands of weapons to illegal settlers - who unsurprisingly have been using them against the people they want to ethnically cleanse.

Not a peep out of our government, or the EU or US government. Van der Leyen and Sunak have recently remembered there is a thing called international law, and are now making token reference to it (like Biden) - but without ever calling out the hourly breaches of that law (aka war crimes).
