And Likud is a descendant of the Irgun paramilitary group, who objectively used terrorist tactics to achieve their goals, and that many in Netanyahu's current administration are by most measures fascist or at the very least far-right (and one of them Bezalel Smotrich, is an admitted fascist and homophobe).
How about you define terrorism for me though. Because Hamas and Fatah are in completely different worlds, not to mention that Fatah is the main party of the Palestinian Authority, the internationally recognized government of Palestine. Hamas is a radical Islamist and Jihadist group, while Fatah is a secular nationalist group. This isn't even to condone Fatah, which have essentially had a dictatorship under Mahmoud Abbas since 2005. But to compare them in any way to Hamas is insane and proves that you are not acting in good faith.
This isn't even to mention that I despise nationalism in all its forms. I realize that Israelis cannot be expected to go back home since their home is Israel, but there should be at the very least reparations to Palestinians and all West Bank settlements should be returned to Palestinians. Further, I believe a one-state solution with equal rights for all is the only way that this situation can ever be resolved.
But apparently you think it's better to dehumanize Gazans and Palestinians more broadly and advocate genocide than to ask tough questions about this situation that may not be so black and white
You are a disgusting human being
Maybe, and I'm on the more moderate side of things. Below me are the people calling for US military to get involved and want to start a war with Iran, below them is the Iranians of course, and WAY below them is Gaza.
