Yeah, they're both irredeemable. The victims are the civilians, everyone else involved is a perpetrator.
Sometimes it's not as simple as the good guys versus the bad guys. Just because one side is bad doesn't mean everyone on the other side is good. There are multiple villains in this conflict and a lot of civilians suffering because of them.
It's not 'good guys vs bad guys' but there is usually an aggressor and a defender in conflict. Did Palestinians, or Hamas, organize this conflict? Did they decide to unilaterally take territory and kill thousands of people on repeat over the last decades? Hamas fighters are Palestinian people, if they weren't organized under Hamas they would be under a different banner fighting the same war.
Just because one side is bad doesn't mean the other side is good. They can both be different flavors of bad. Just because hamas is bad doesn't justify a genocide like Israel seems to think either.
Do you need a diagram?
