I mean that's a fucked up starting point tbh, so yeah, I would.
Ukraine has made it clear they'll stop at their border. Hamas have made it clear they will not. They're an existential threat to Israel.
You really wouldn't understand why some Ukrainians would support a party that calls for the death of all Russians? You really can't see why Afghans supported the Taliban during the American occupation? I'm not asking if it's right for them to do so, or if it's right for people to support those that do, in asking if you can understand why they'd feel that way.
What are your thoughts about the Haitian slave revolt?
Hamas' stated goal is a product of Israeli actions. Terrorist groups calling for the destruction of another country don't tend to form in stable, prosperous, and free countries.
Not to mention that Israel has been actively stealing Palestinian land for decades and recently argued to the UN that all of Palestine was a part of Israel. They aren't exactly respecting the border either. They are also seen as an existential threat to the Palestinians.
Israel doesn't see a two state solution as an option either. They either want full control over Palestine or a puppet state that they have almost total control over. No real Arab state would be allowed by them and they've made that clear.
Nothing good will happen until tensions deescalate, which can't happen until Israel backs down from their occupation and oppression. You won't stop making new terrorists until they are treated as people.
