By every measure, Israel is objectively the aggressor ...
Modern history: 100 years ago, in 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky fully acknowledged that Zionism is colonialism, and that, based on the entirety of history, the natives would fight it until the bitter end. He just didn't care what would happen to them, and promoted doing it anyway. Colonizers are never not the aggressors.
On top of the colonialist nature of Zionism, the Zionists also formed terrorist organizations, like the Irgun and Lehi. They bombed many Palestinian markets and other public places, murdering many civilians, including children, even including Palestinian Jews (who opposed Zionism). Israel merged those terrorists into the new nation's military and intelligence agencies. Israelis elected Menachem Begin, leader of the Irgun, child murderer, Jew murderer, and bomber of the King David Hotel, as PM. Israelis, to this day, celebrate those terrorists as "heroes". Zionists literally taught their neighbours that terrorism is a valid path to independence and statehood, and that terrorists are to be celebrated.
In 1945, it is well documented that Zionists owned just 5% of the land and were a majority nowhere. Israel was formed by actually going against the majority population. It's foundation is completely undemocratic. Then, becoming a majority, in "your" new nation, by ethnic cleansing the actual majority, and then claiming to be democratic, is utter nonsense.
Law: Israel is considered an occupier by the International Court, the UN GA, and the UN SC. Occupiers are also never not the aggressors. Those occupied actually have a right to resist occupation. On the flip side, it is illegal for the occupier to settle occupied lands, and illegal to use collective punishment. Israel is a rogue nation, that doesn't abide by international law. What it has been doing, and is doing now, is illegal.
Current events: This year, alone, prior to Oct 7 ... Israel held over 1200 Palestinian hostages without charges ... over 200 Palestinians had been killed by the IDF and settlers ... over 1000 Palestinians had been displaced by Israel's neverending colonization of the West Bank ... and, Israel continued to operate an open air WWII style fascist ghetto. Even ignoring modern history and law, in no reality did Hamas "start" anything.
Actual Hamas supporter: Netanyahu promoted, and helped fund, Hamas, to weaken the Palestinian Authority, to avoid a potential peace, so he could continue his colonization project. This is very much like the US promoting and funding religious extremists in Afghanistan, and that ending up biting them in the ass. Plus, he was warned by Egypt and, instead of strengthening the Gaza border, he moved Gazan troops to the West Bank, to support his colonization. Almost like he wanted his pet terrorists to actually break through.

@FrancisFjordCupola You're the kind of dimwit who thinks the Democratic Republic of North Korea is actually democratic. Hitler didn't even want the "socialism" in the name of the party. He was convinced, by others, that it would help bring over workers. Hitler was backed by leading industrialists of Germany, who had previously backed other far right parties. Hitler even tried an alliance with all the other far right parties, called the Harzburg Front. He made a private pamphlet, just for his backers, letting them know he wouldn't be redistributing wealth. Hitler briefly lost Emil Kirdorf as a backer (who jumped to another far right party), because he hadn't dealt with prominent left leaning members of the party. Hitler literally killed them off on the Night of the Long Knives. Socialists, communists, and anarchists, were his main political opponents, and the first to be tossed into camps, once he gained power. Tens of thousands of people were arrested for "illegal socialist activity". Then he went after Unionists. One of his arguments against Jews was blaming them for socialism, because Marx was Jewish.
People like you are equivalent to Holocaust deniers, by denying who Hitler actually mistreated.
