Israel is responsible for Hamas’ own actions, often including the 7 October attack.
Israel not only created an environment where terrorism grows and thrives, they also funded Hamas early on in part of their effort to stamp out secular resistances. The burden of Hamas’ existences falls on Israel too.
the same way hamas doesn’t represent palestine, netanyahu’s government doesn’t represent israel either. the funding of hamas was a far-right candidate’s propaganda tactic, not something that the people of israel decided would be a good idea.
I haven’t actually seen anybody blame all Israelis for Netanyahu’s or the IDF’s actions. It’s generally understood we’re talking about the people in power.
