> P.S. Another argument that I don't get is "but surely Hamas has good reasons to commit terrorism and genocide!". Yeah, and Hitler surely also had his good reasons to mass exterminate Jews.

This is a bit disingenuous. Hamas has more reasons to fight against Israel than Hitler had to kill Jews.

I don't think those reasons justify what they did, nor do I think violent resistance is the correct or moral path for Palestinians. But it's still far more justified than what Hitler did, relatively speaking.

I didn't mean to get into actually comparing "who had more reasons", I was simply pointing out that whatever reasons one had in their mind (good or bad, it doesn't matter), those reasons cannot be an excuse for such actions.
