This is a hard line to tow, this is not a conflict with a 'good guy'.
The Hamas charter that they were founded on is publicly accessible, anyone can read it. It directly calls for Jihad as the only answer, and directly say that negotiation is not an option. There is also a line referencing that judgement will not come until the Jews are killed. Israel is doing bad things but don't let that lead you to the conclusion that Hamas is okay. It's really rough.

  None of the single violent resistances against apartheid and oppression ever had a "good guy".
  If you believe all those people that were willing to risk their lives to stand up against oppression in the past were super nice and educated about the whole situation you're in for a big treat.
  The IRA and the ANC are not the nice guys you think they were which only targeted military and politicians. And don't google what the Haitians did during their rebellion against slavery.
  Hamas is very much on the lower end of civilian casualty rates for a resistance group.

  It's hard line to tow, but if you are going to say they're open to peace, you got to stick to it.

  No one is interested in bringing any of this into the conversation.

  This is where I have a problem, you're framing 'lower end of civilian casualty' as a good statistic to look at and a sign that one side is somehow 'noble'. People are trying really hard to frame it as a battle of good vs evil, where in reality it's just a battle of evil vs evil, but one side is dramatically less effective and has less resources. The wikipedia article on suicide bombings Hamas has claimed credit for isn't small and that's just covering one type of terrorism.
  It's horrible for the Palestinian civilians, but Hamas has built their entire government on the idea of perpetual war and specifically not negotiating a solution. I hope I'm wrong, but I personally don't see a peaceful solution here where both sides are still around.

  What does this even mean? They have been open to peace and tried to negotiate peacefully far before October 7.
  Israel keeps breaking all its deals which leaves violent resistance as the only option they have left for peace.
  You've watched a few too many Disney movies where "the good guy "keep getting punched in the face and never hit anyone that oppose them because 'they're above that and that would make them just as evil as the other guy!".

  Yes intentionally avoiding killing many civilians and especially children is objectively better than indiscriminately massacring every single child you can find like israel does and like many other resistance groups have done in the past.
  A reminder that in total EIGHT children under 10 died on october 7. israel kills more than that every single day.
  People are so far brainwashed that if they hear "khamas evil evil evil" enough times they magically believe that they are actually worse than israel which is literally trying to wipe out every single Palestinian from the face of the earth and are dreaming of having the 2/3 civilian casualty rate Hamas has
  Hamas's government is built upon israel never accepting any peaceful deal or keeping their promises, something which israel has proven many times over the past 75 years.
  You'd be out there saying that the Jews should have just negotiated with Adolf Hitler instead of fighting back as if that's even an option.

  You're saying they want peace then describing them as a violent resistance. Those don't match up.
  “khamas evil evil evil”
  They're unapologetically and unashamedly a terrorist organization and describe themselves as such. You're the only one confused. They publicly claim responsibility for acts of terror like the below:
  Hamas Suicide Bombings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ListofPalestiniansuicideattacks#::text=A%202007%20study%20of%20Palestinian,PFLP)%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other)
  Hamas’s government is built upon israel never accepting any peaceful deal
  Partially correct, but misleading, the charter that Hamas was founded on:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988Hamascharter
  Hamas' government was built on a requirement for violent jihad and fantasizing about the death of all jews (it's specifically in the charter). The government charter specifically speaks against negotiating for peace. Notable extra callouts railing against equal rights for women, codifying them as exclusively 'homemakers' and 'child rearers'. A whole special section just to state that womens suffrage was something the west made up just to make them specifically look bad.
  Your next comment should be something along the lines of "I give up on this, you're obviously not listening to this stuff I made up". Make sure to include a segue with an analogy comparing it to something else though.
  
  Yeah the Allies fought against Hitler with violence because they wanted to kill all Germans and never achieve peace.
  And the ANC too they didn't want peace they just wanted genocide!
  Childish arguments.

  There's the segue that no one cares about that I mentioned in my last reply.
  Childish arguments.
  And, there's the 'I give up and go home' statement I predicted in the last reply too. It was expected after any sources are presented.
  
  Maybe post something relevant next time and learn about history before you write a 5 pages long nothing burger.
  
  Oh look everybody we got a repeat from this one of giving up and going home once it's pointed out that they've offered nothing!
  Still not seeing any comments on the sources. How you feel about the hamas charter? Was women's suffrage where it all went wrong? Openly admitting to suicide bombings and other acts of terror and being proud of being a terrorist organization? Is that what the good guys do?
  This isn't me, this is coming direct from your 'good guys'.
