There are two versions of history regarding how Israel formed. One of them was Moses incited a rebellion against the pharaoh and then escaped with his followers into Israel, fighting the Canaanites when they got there (but definitely not through terrorism and by far not the whole Canaanite territory, which stretched far to the East) and settling in what's roughly considered their current territorial borders.

The other version of Israelite history began with them simply forming into existence on an area surrounded by Canaanite land (this view is often held by those who doubt the pyramids used unwilling slaves), similar to many city-states, and that the Israelites are in fact the Canaanites.

Neither of these began with indiscriminate extermination or fear of existence.

Modern Israel, which was given to the inhabitants after British occupation which also followed periods of Babylonian, Roman, and Ottoman occupation, was founded on the chaos caused by the British being as good at drawing borders than they were, a complaint which has also been spoken by India and Pakistan, who themselves are destined for a third war this century (I can almost smell it). Which leads us to the following...

I’m not saying the jews are bad. I’m saying those that are in power are the ones fucking it up for the rest of us.

That's kind of the biggest point, there is a distinction NOT being made by Hamas or even the majority of Palestine. While also not encourageable, fedai warfare, which was even invented by Muslims, would've been 110% more peaceful than what Hamas did and what Palestine continues, which is highly collateral and reckless in its aggression, deception, and urge to drag people in, such as with the OP but also with the fact Russia and the whole Ummah just had to join, making it more than just par for the course.

There's also the fact there's one Jewish homeland and more land operating in the sphere of the Islamic world than there is land on most continents, which itself is only a factor because Palestine considers itself inseparable from Islam (if it wasn't, the spheres of Islam and Judaism wouldn't be used as reference points to where their lands begin, it would just be "another factor" and thus no alienation if Palestine wanted Israel's land).
