Why are you assuming that Hamas are not justified to launch attacks against Israel?

I said, if I was in their situation, and my only path to freedom was violence, that is the path I would take.

Yes, broadly, the Palestinians are responsible for the actions of Hamas.

But the blood rests not on Palestinian hands. Israel assumed control over Palestinian property. Violently.

Israeli military occupation policies, settlement expansion, and legal rulings that prioritize Israeli control over disputed lands, leaving many Palestinians without effective legal protection for their property.

So yes. Responsibile. But not guilty.

Except it’s not the only path for freedom. Israel offered peace and statehood repeatedly - 1947 partition, Camp David 2000, Olmert 2008. Gaza got full autonomy in 2005. The response? Terror.

This behavior becomes the ‘only path for freedom’ when your core mentality is based on old fundamentalist religious ideas with no concept of human rights or tolerance. Ask yourself if you would want to live in Israel or any other Middle East country.

Palestinians did not gain full control over their borders, and movement of goods and people remained heavily restricted in 2005.

2008 is said to have been procedurally illegitimate but the closest things ever got.

The rest heavily favoured Israel and legitimizing colonization and dispossession.

You're going too far back for my age. These are things I read about, but did not experience.

I’d prefer an intellectual reply instead of dumb twitter catchphrases.

You got enough.

Ok. Go back to daddy basement.
