Depending on the narrator, they're either freedom fighters or terrorists. The question should be why and how does Hamas exist? They didn't pop up one moment and started killing people.

If you're really interested, read some different sources or listen to some podcasts from both sides and you'll have a bigger sense of things.

or listen to some podcasts from both sides

And listen to podcasts from a third party. Try to find sources that are as objective as possible.

Yes, I have Podcast addict and just subscribed to various news podcasts, some European, some American, British, middle eastern, ...

I still have to find one Israeli source to see their point of view and one Palestinian or pro Palestinian.
