You think they were living hunkydory trading Candy and living in peace with sunshine and rainbows? Then suddenly went I dont like your candy, ILL KILL YOU!?

Not at all. But terrorism is terrorism and is inexcusable.

The Israel Hamas relationship is classic chicken and the egg.

If your narrative is that Israel is the last vestige of colonialism and an occupying force that doesnt have the right to exist, then Hamas is simply a reaction to decades of occupation and therefore is an Israeli creation designed to continue further subjugation of the Palestinians.

And if your narrative is that Israel has the right to exist, and the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians is only continued because of Hamas inability to understand that its tactics do not serve the legitimate concerns of the Palestinians in their pursuit of national sovereignty and the right of self determination, then Israels tactics in Gaza are a reaction to decades of living in fear of Hamas.

Now neither one of those narratives is entirely true, but there are grains of truth to both. Violence only leads to more violence. I just disagree with any ceasefire without a return of the hostages and the leaders of Hamas in handcuffs because of October 7th.
