Exactly this. Nobody seems to talk about the other half of Hamas. I deplore what the military side did, it's not okay in any case. But it's not so cut and dry.

There's so much nuance and complexity with this topic that online discussion is so tiring to read. People take two points out of twenty and make sweeping judgements and generalizations without having the full picture.

There is no "other" side of Hamas that doesn't want to kill all the Jews. This is a delusion of someone unfamiliar with situation. They may differ in methods. The side that does fundraising in Western countries knows that being openly anti-Semitic will negatively affect their fundraising activities... so, they aren't that stupid. They want the money / resources and they will pretend for as long as necessary to get those sweet donations. They will promptly give those donations to the other side though.
I didn't say that, but I also don't agree with "they want to kill all the Jews". Very little of this conflict has to do with religion, anyway.
