Hamas on multiple occasions was willing to drop its weapons, accept peace and a 2-state solution on 1967 borders, but that was rejected by multiple Israeli governments
Hamas’ actions cannot be moral for they killed civilians which Israel is now doing and rightfully getting pushback for. Normalizing Hamas’ actions as normal only justifies what Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel cabinet of ministers have been doing so far in Gaza.
Hamas actions are not justified as they have not reacted to civilian deaths but only to the death of their commander/leader.
Hamas actions’ legality is moot as their morality is questionable at best. If they did not kill civilians on oct 7 then most of the deaths in Gaza since Oct 7 would have never happened.
Addressing #3: Hamas willing to drop their weapons and surrender is just a political move designed to trick people into thinking they care about Gaza or it’s civilians. Nobody would be willing to bet that Netanyahu would accept their surrender.
Addressing #1 & #2: The legality/morality of Israel’s action in Gaza since Oct 7 is not a complement of the actions of Hamas. There is no justification for killing Israeli civilians on oct 7.

Hamas’ actions are moral. Indigenous people have the right to resist settler colonialism and ethnic cleansing. Settlers have no right to use their people as human shields. If Russia was sending people to settle the territories it occupied from Ukraine you would have supported the Ukrainians fighting them back with any means necessary. Russians can’t claim that the settlers are innocent civilians.

Hamas has been serious about ceasefire negotiations from the beginning of the conflict. Israel wants to use this conflict to justify the 2nd Nakba they wanted to do for years.

It is not moot, it is very relevant. Per international law people living under a military occupation have the right to resist even violently. The vast majority of people Hamas killed were military, it was Israel’s Hannibal Directive that lead to most of the civilian deaths.
If they did not kill civilians on oct 7 then most of the deaths in Gaza since Oct 7 would have never happened.
If Israel hasn’t illegally occupied Palestinian territories since 1967 Hamas wouldn’t have come to be. The root of all evil here is the colonialism and occupation of Palestine, not the resistance. Israel has used settlers as human shields since its founding. You are blaming the victim for resisting and blaming them for the genocidal response from the aggressors.

The Arab Peace Initiative was from 2002. In 2006 Ismail Haniyeh sent a message to George W Bush telling him of Hamas’ willingness to negotiate and accept a 2-state solution on 1967 borders. Both were rejected. The Likud Party has a policy since the 1970s of not allowing or recognizing any Palestinian state.
Addressing #1 & #2: The legality/morality of Israel’s action in Gaza since Oct 7 is not a complement of the actions of Hamas. There is no justification for killing Israeli civilians on oct 7.
There is justifications for resisting settler colonialism, military occupation and ethnic cleansing, which Israelis are all participants in.
Anyways, Israelis forced themselves on Palestine through sheer brutality committing massacres, rape and ethnic cleansing since its founding. They will leave the way they came. I really don’t care if you accept it or not. International law is clear and Zionist settler colonialism is the root of all evil in this conflict. What Palestinians do as a response is moral, legal and justified.
I disagree with this statement. Hamas’ actions are justified, moral and legal for the following reasons:
Global Court Says Israel’s Occupation of Territories Violates International Law
The occupation has been ongoing since the 1967 Six Day War that was preemptive and started with a lie.
