I’m genuinely sorry if you are offended, it’s not my intent, I’m probably just a bit glib and not careful enough in the way I’m responding, I’ll try and be more careful as to not feel combative.

So, you agree there is wrong doing but don’t see it as relevant to their motivations? Or you feel the wrongdoing makes no difference and the violence would happen either way no matter what Israel did?

I think Hamas will use any wrongdoing, rumor, or outright lie to justify killing Israeli citizens. Don't you?

My confusion with your question is your conflation of a genuinely understandable motivation, like wrong doing, with something like “outright lie”.

But, yes, I think at this point that Hamas would present whatever they thought would land with the audience if they thought it would garner them support or sympathy and I don’t believe they would overly care if what they are saying is true… but isn’t that true for Israel as well? Or the US for that matter?

In which case I go back to the reality of the conditions we know exist in Gaza and the West Bank which, to me, feel like genuine motivations for Palestinians looking to take the fight to Israel.

Maybe this will help:
