    Its all about the power dynamics, Israel has all the power and can end the conflict at anytime and seek peace. They are also an ethnostate where nonjews are second class citizens. There needs to be a 2 state solution where Palestinians have independence and freedom from the yok of the Israelis or a 1 state solution where both sides have equal political liberties. The Hamas attack happened because of the stranglehold Israel has over the Palestinian people and the Israeli response was to strangle even harder. I dont support Hamas, but Israel has actively supported them by refusing to allow Palestinians the agency to be their own state and continueing to steal their land in the West Bank with Illegal Settlements. Israel has murdered a magnitude more Palestinians than than Hamas killed on their attack. Israel had also been treating Palestinians horribly for decades before this attack and its only gotten worse.
