Hamas was founded in 1987. Long after the oppression and theft began.
It is a response to oppression and theft.
No oppression for decades, no continual theft for decades, no Hamas.
Hamas is the only Arab government in the entire region with any credibility. The only democratically elected government.
What is clear is Israel is destroying Palestinian lives and stealing Palestinian lands.
If the stealing were not occurring then possibly a person could buy some of Israel's bullshit.
Meh. Look, when Israel was founded all the Jews in neighbouring countries were kicked out of their homes and shipped to Israel. Due to Muslim propaganda Palestinians had fled from their homes. They didn't actually have any reason to fear for their lives. But they thought they did. So Israel had a whole bunch of empty houses that just stood there and also loads of homeless Jewish refugees. So the Jews just moved into the empty Palestinian homes.
Eventually the Palestinians realised that they had nothing to fear and tried returning to their homes. But they were now occupied. So the Israel government asked nicely if the countries who had expelled their Jews wanted to take in the Palestinians. Nope. So Israel was in a bind. They couldn't kick out the Jewish refugees because they weren't welcome anywhere else. So Israel tried to make everybody happy. But the Palestinians weren't having it.
If you look at how the Palestinians have behaved they've been unreasonable from day one. They behave as if they sit on all the power and can dictate how the Jews should behave. Because they identify with the Arab majority in the Levant. But the Arabs in neighbouring countries sure as hell won't identity with the Palestinians. Israel didn't win the six days war because of a miracle. But because the others weren't really trying. While Israel have no reason to kiss Palestinian ass. The Palestinians are basically like Donald Trump. They think everybody loves them, but nobody does.
Everything is connected. There's not a bad side and a good side. The Arabs and Persians around Israel have tried very hard to sabotage Israel all along. Israel has just tried keeping their head down and get on with it.
Add to that Jewish nationalism and the cunt settlers being cunts.
I'm personally backing the Jewish side. Not because I think they're morally in the clear. But because they have a government that actually works. The Palestinian electorate is so hell bent on murdering every single last Jew that I can't see anything good coming of Palestinian power. Not at the moment.
