Your original supposition is flawed. You frame as if you are correct and is my job to prove otherwise which is not the case. As far as my arguments go, I am not doing anything different from you, but you seem to have some problem with my discussion which would mean you have a problem with your own.

It is in Hamas mission statement that will Jihad against Israel until it is no longer in existence and they establish an Islamic caliphate, that they are not interested in coming to a solution, and even if they did it would only be temporary until they could fully destroy the rest of the country. This exactly the same things that Isis and Al Queada said. It also puts to rest any idea that it's not about religion to them, as it states several times in that same mission statement and it's companion material about the fundamental hate and dishonesty of "The Jews" and how it's impossible to ever have peace with them so not to even bother trying and make war instead. This is after allying with the Nazi's who literally tried (and somewhat succesfully did) wipe the Jew out of existence.

Vs.

A country who defends itself from attempted genocide and war crimes.

Hamas has been repeatedly offered solutions for peace and has rejected them due to the above stated goal. They have agreed to them only to break their agreements within days. They started a war, they were the aggressors. They are pretty much always the aggressors. Then they cry when they lose. They store and fire weapons from neighborhoods and hospital (completely illegal) then go crazy about how Israel is "killing babies" when they return fire......as if the entire situation wasn't under their control and of their planning, and as if firing rockets never killed anyone and they were just out for a nice stroll in the park. They try to kill you, then get mad when you try to kill them back. They are terrorists. The End.
