Simply put, both sides of the conflict fucking suck, which is what makes it a very difficult conflict to resolve.

I think a big part of the problem is that while Hamas are fucken evil, they were a tool used by Israel to destroy the Palestinian people. Hamas wouldn't still exist if Israel didn't want them to https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escorted-suitcases-cash-hamas-qatar-report-2023-12?r=US&IR=T

Israel has always had the goal of killing everyone in Palestine. Feed some rockets through to Hamas so they will be fired at them, send in an incredibly well funded military to level a few block (mostly with US taxpayer money), and use that military to protect the "settlers" who will just take the land.

The only change is they have expedited the process.

Meanwhile the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine just exists.

The PFLP has generally taken a hard-line on Palestinian national aspirations, opposing the more moderate stance of Fatah. It does not recognize Israel, and promotes a one-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, in a "democratic Palestine", where "Arabs and Jews would live without discrimination". The military wing of the PFLP is called the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades.
