The quote from the article has it right: "They are human beings. They have bad leaders, like us. We can throw away the leaders on both sides and make peace in a matter of minutes".

Hamas and Likud are the instigators of this, and they actually both want to entirely destroy the other side rather than a peaceful resolution. To quote Hamas' 2017 charter: "Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea" (noting that means the complete destruction of Israel). To quote Netanyahu: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian State has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring of money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy".

Deliberately killing civilians is never okay (which both sides are doing - see the article, and Hamas are safe in their tunnels and it has become a trope that after killing many civilians Likud people just automatically claim it was Hamas HQ, with no credibility), and neither side has a right to target civilians.

It's fair to call them terrorists when they attack civilians.

And don't give me the "what about Israel" bullshit. They can be terrorists, too, it doesn't make Hamas suddenly freedom fighters for murdering children. A terrorist is a terrorist.

They earn that name when they kill civilians deliberately.

Inb4 "israel", yes fuck israel as well.

One man's terrorist yadda yadda. No. These guys fucking suxk. They aren't fighting for Palestine any more than isis fought for Iraq. Israel's bullshit certainly explains why hamas has a lot of Palestinian support; they have no other option, but don't pretend they aren't terrorists.
