Killing is wrong by either side. Why blame Israel but not Hamas? It's obviously hypocritical, but some people do it anyway. Sad.

Hamas is designated as "a terrorist organization".
Doesn't it lower expectations a lot?
Israel fails a victim to higher expectations.

Do you ask to lower expectation for Israel to Hamas level?
Hail the law of undesired consequences.

No, but it's good to see you admit that Hamas is low. Some here refuse
to acknowledge that. That's my point.

I don't acknowledge it (officially). IMHO Denying it
(strongly/directly) would be plain stupid unless you are
"a very interested party".

Anyway new round of remembrance about terrorist founding fathers of
Israel is unavoidable IMHO.

I can muster a little sympathy for Hamas only based on logic below:

Do you suggest that end of "State of Israel as it is now" MUST mean

Jews had somehow survived 2_000 years without Jewish State.

Hamas wants to kill all Jews.

Could you provide supporting links? Is it your personal opinion/projection? Without supporting evidence (or at very least much more precision) it is
as valid as claim that Israel wants to kill all Palestinians in Gaza Strip.

AFAIR Israel _minster_ from Jewish Power party "suggested" using
Israel's nukes in Gaza *twice*. Could it be done without many+
civilian casualties?
