Because the alt-left MHGA recruits would disregard or ban this list on any of their echo chambers, I’ll post it here for the intellectually curious. It is a biased source, but filled with starting points if you want to investigate, and filled with FACTS. You can research individual attacks accounted for here, which is a better list than can be found in most places, with more initial details for your research.
It’s a rough resource for people peddling a false narrative of innocent, defenseless, oppressed Palestinians. But sometimes facts ARE rough.
THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE ISRAEL’S WAR CRIMES, and doesn’t mean there’s not a HUGE list of those either. The point is, those you will always find celebrated in the MHGA echo chambers, whereas this would get instantly removed by the Hamas in training.
Not a Bibi or Likud supporter. He and multiple members of Likud are war criminals many, many times over. More than anything for the collective punishment of Gaza PRE-Oct 7th. Yes, even though, pre-Oct Hamas was regularly targeting civilians and committing the war crimes that got them elected and made them so popular in Gaza.
But post, you can’t leave their infrastructure and ability to project power in place anymore or ever to let it happen again.
You can find someone else to defend his disgusting language, I won’t. Dehumanizing a country’s enemy may be a time honored tactic committed by virtually every country on the planet but it’s never okay.
The argument that Israel makes is that the Gazans should stand up to Hamas. So maybe Israel can lead by example and stand up to Bibi.
They have, but Hamas seeks to keep him in power because he makes them more popular than ever. You know that Hamas PUT him in power, right? Perez was vowing to continue the Oslo process with Arafat. Israel had majority support for the two-state solution and Perez was clearly winning. That’s why Hamas executed a series of suicide bombs, bus bombing, killing as many civilians as they could (and always have). The campaign was successful enough that Bibi squeaked by with a LESS than 1% victory over Perez.
This stuff isn’t a secret. If you wanted to get out of your Hamas supporter bubble then you could find this information yourself.
Hamas and Bibi are partners, they work together to keep the conflict going and awful.
If you don’t like to read, Frontline has an excellent piece on the conflict from the Oslo process and onwards:

EDIT: You can even just look at old news reports

Those bombings were intentionally designed by Hamas to get Bibi elected. When Palestinians die, Hamas gains supporters, followers, and power. Just look at Lemmy with all its recruits!

This was the direct cause of the retaliatory bombings by Hamas.
Start with common ground: FUCK that radical Jewish terrorist. The whole Kach movement are radical right-wing terrorists–they should be eliminated by any means necessary. I shed no tears for eliminating terrorists (regardless of their religon or country of residence). I think we can agree on that, right? I sure hope we do.
If only the Palestinian response was the same to Hamas terror attacks, right?

And the direct cause of all Hamas bombings is their stated founding principal of genocide of Isreal and Jews. That part isn’t hard, period. I’m not sure what the point of picking out one incident in the cycle is, unless you’re just trying to say they had no agenda to get Bibi elected. In which case we’d very much disagree, and we can debate that further. I just want to clarify.
This Atlantic critique is worth a read:
