They also killed Israeli civilians and I don't think it's right to kill civilians, whether it's Israeli or Palestinian civilians, Jewish or Muslim, or anyone else.

Obviously Palestinians are underdogs against Israel, and I think what Israel is currently doing to Palestine is terrible and wrong. I still don't think killing civilians is a good answer to that problem though.

    Not a justification, but one of the problems with Israeli conscription laws is that service is mandatory, and everyone who serves is obligated to be a reservist until the age of 40 and even 50 depending.

    It gets real hard to distinguish if any given individuals in Israel are one of the limited populations exempted from serving in the IDF.

    Its been very well proven Israel slaughtered many of its own citizens that day, not Hamas.

    I think Al Jazeera is known to be critical of Israel right? And they have said that Hamas killed civilians in the October 2023 attack:

    thousands witnessed a massacre at an Israeli music festival where Hamas fighters killed at least 260 people and took captives back into Gaza

    Anyway, I hope Palestinians can live in peace without Israel murdering Palestinians, and without Israelis taking Palestinian land, etc. I hope everyone in that area can live in peace and with equal rights. I don't approve of any killings of civilians, whether it's by Hamas or Israel. Some people say "Israel has killed far more civilians than Hamas has, since October 2023", and yes that's very likely true, but that doesn't mean Hamas killed no civilians.
