hamas was created as a product of zionism already committing genocide against the palestinians since the very creation of Israel as a state. this did NOT start in october 7th.
also, this HAS happened. palestinians (literally random civilians) have been TARGETED and KILLED outside of gaza (the place hamas is). this isn't because they're "hamas", it's because they are palestinian.
and three, that's stupid. of course
israel will want to paint it as a war, in which they are the victims. but they have been offered multiple times a permanent ceasefire with the release of the hostages, which they have declined time and time again.
