As are you, this can’t be defined in simplistic terms due to its historic nature. Well you can but you would be wrong.
To be clear Hamas’s actions are utterly deplorable, but let’s not for one minute suggest that Israel are innocent in their current or previous actions. Not that their past behaviour justifies Hamas actions (sad that I have to write that but it would appear that unless you explicitly denounce Hamas in every post you somehow support their aims)
Israel’s current objective namely to eradicate Hamas is doomed to fail because all Hamas has to do is to survive to win. Hamas influence and offensive capabilities will certainly be significantly reduced but they won’t be wiped out and you can bet that a percentage of the individuals or families of those who were classed as collateral damage will go on to seek revenge
