There are no two sides here. It's the same side of two different coins. Netanyahu is a war criminal for genocide, and Hamas leaders are responsible for civilian deaths from their terror attack.
"Their terror attack" lol. My man, if the term terror attack was around in the 1940s, Hitler would have used it to describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And make no mistake- this is a ghetto uprising. If you don't want people to make a violent bid for freedom, don't spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp with no recourse. Simple.
Terrorist is buzzword that fascist states apply to people who stand up for themselves, who return even a fraction of the violence they are made to suffer every day. "Terrorist" is just "savage" with a fresh coat of paint. Every slave revolt and anti-colonial uprising in history has been tarred with the same brush.
There is no Hamas without Isreal.

I'm with you here. The violence is of Israel's own making, but no matter how "just" one believes their actions are, they are still against international humanitarian law. I apply the same standard to everyone, be it Hamas, Israel, Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, China, United States, etc.
If you are willing to spill civilian blood, you also should be willing to take responsibility for those actions.

I must’ve missed the part where the 30k civilians murdered in this genocide killed anyone.
The term "civilian" has been actively stripped of all meaning when people willfully occupying native land and displacing the population as those natives are slaughtered are included.
While I agree with your general point, it's still a war crime to take civilians as hostages.
Even ignoring that these people are mandatorily required to serve in the IOF, there are very few settler-colonial civilians (children, others without agency, and anyways these civilians are only here by the will of the settlers). It's ridiculous to equate Palestinian civilians with "Israelis" not actively in the IOF when the latter chooses to occupy Palestinian land and displace the natives in the brutal practice that is settler-colonialism.
