Palestinians are just civilians, they aren't armed, they are not an army, they are just citizens getting murdered by a terrorist state that has been invading them from more than 70 years. HAMAS was voted by Palestine citizens, and it's the only defense they have. The attack that HAMAS did was mainly because Israel was already invading and killing a ratio or 200/400 citizens each year, while stealing their farms, and land, that's why HAMAS attacked the territory that in the past was just Palestine.
I said "HAMAS has the right to self-defense" as everyone is just saying "Israel has the right to self-defense" which is super unfair as Israel is the one invading and attacking from years passively and injuring Palestinians.
Again, Palestinians are mostly citizens, they aren't armed to be able to defend themselves, they almost can't have a voice.
You say "terrorist" too easily.

Hamas has been firing thousands of rockets at Isreali cities every single year since they came into existence, and Hamas' stated goal is the eradication of Jews. The only reason Isreali casualties aren't higher than Palestines is Isreal has the iron dome.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel since well before the current apartheid.
From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas):
As far as I know, Israel didn't wanted peace.
Israel gave land back to the Palestinians before, and the Palestinians just used that to attack from closer to Israeli cities. The Palestinians have never wanted peace.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about Hamas. Can you paste some source, so I can read what do you refer?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_peace_process
From your reference:
That's why Israel will never make peace.
So they never wanted to give back the Palestine territory.
that is the most laughably ignorant statement I've seen all day
Who started the 1948 Arab-Israeli war?
certainly not Hamas 😂
The Arab states. And said Arab states and Palestine have continually attacked Israel since. Hamas is the latest in a long line of Arab aggressors, and have been firing rockets at Israel for decades.
Ignoring the decades of Arab aggression as a direct cause of the current conflict is idiotic at best.
Portraying the Arabs as aggressors in the genocidal colonial project undertaken in occupied Palestine during the last 8 decades is racist and dishonest at best
That's not true. Please don't lie in plain view here. You're insulting the intelligence of everyone.
