If they have "demonstrated" to you, you are a very unusual person. Sorry to go personal, lol. Hamas is a political party that has a very clear charter that reads the opposite of the genocidal Likud charter and explicitly states that Palestinian resistance fights Zionist colonization and has NO prejudice against Jews as a people. Hamas therefore has one armed brigade, Al Qassam, that wages armed struggle against the oppression that is LEGAL under the international law - but is smeared as "terrorism" by Zionist-vassalized countries, because Zionists need to criminalize any resistance to them, whether armed struggle or unarmed protests or speech or art.
It is known already, and known from Israeli sources themselves that people who died on October 7, were BOTH military and civilians and that the civilians were not just Jewish, and that they were killed mostly by hellfire missiles, Apache helicopters and tank shells, which Al Qassam do not have.
Few people were accidentally shot by the resistance fighters. But Al Qassam and OTHER FIVE RESISTANCE GROUPS that participated in the uprising (that you dismiss for some reason, but sure why) did not have an objective to KILL (unlike Zionists have in Gaza and the West Bank). Their objective was: to take hostages to SWAP for the PALESTINIAN HOSTAGES, women and CHILDREN who were held in Israeli torture jails without charge or trial, but who, as I can see, are not human for Zionists. The goal of the uprising was also a demand to open Gaza, dismantle the barb wire fence and watch towers that are there to shoot dead everyone who moves close to the fence, but the inhumanity and obvious Nazi practice of such locking people up, again, does not bother Zionists.
It is satanic to exterminate people out of imagination that they might want to harm you.
If Israel were a person, it would be a serial sadist killer who would whine in court that he has been killing his victims because they want to harm him.
But he would be sentenced to capital punishment.
