The claim That their freedom fighters are categorized by us and our friends as terrorists will never work on me. The Ukrainian resistance aren't called terrorists, the french resistance during ww2 weren't called terrorists. Hamas are like them freedom fighters and the atrocities they commit mirrors that of the aggressor. Among hamas are the sole children left after an Israeli strike, the crazed fathers that lost their families. They want freedom and they fight for it !
Hamas has in their charter, calls for the extermination of the Israelites and rejection of peace settlements.
So yeah they're terrorists.
France and Ukraine didn't/don't have the goal of exterminating all Germans/Russians.
There's no world where Israel and Palestine peacefully coexist. And you can't compromise or negotiate with someone whos official stance is "We want your race dead and will reject all peace deals"
That's probably because neither of those groups exhibited the mediaeval barbarity against civilians Hamas has been celebrating.
Hamas is explicitly calling for genocide. "The aggressor," is not. Israel goes to great lengths to minimize civilian deaths, even notifying targets of incoming airstrikes before they hit.
If you think these actions are morally equivalent your moral compass is broken. One side is trying to defend themselves and the other side is trying to eradicate every member of their opponent's society.
Perhaps they should negotiate for it rather than continually provoking an enemy they cannot defeat militarily and hiding among civilians. That would prevent many needless civilian casualties.
