I personally don't like this "one site bad" thing(in this conflict at least). Of course, in terms of killed persons Israel is the bad guy, but also the things the Hamas did are pretty fucked up. I personally came to the conclusion that both sides are bad, Israel is allowed to defense itself against this brutality but shouldn't take the opportunity to absolutely fuck Palestine again(what it sadly does). I'm not for Israel or Palestine. I'm for the civilists and human rights.
You have to look at it in terms of power dynamics though. Israel is a uS backed settler colonial apartheid regime that propped up Hamas because they would rather face Islamic fundamentalists then socialist opposition. They're either directly or indirectly responsible for all of the violence.
Only one side could hypothetically end the violence tomorrow.
Hamas having hostages isn't stopping Israel bombing hospitals and cutting off food, water, and electricity to the region. If it doesn't stop them from escalating violence why do you think it is preventing them from making concessions and ending the violence?
Here is just one strike, that basically killed half a thousand people https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/10/gaza-un-experts-decry-bombing-hospitals-and-schools-crimes-against-humanity
In terms of killing children, women AND in the most cowardly manner, there's no good manner but they succeed to go beyond that.
