Israel was ruled to be an apartheid state by the ICJ. Hamas is a response to the brutality and inequities of their condition. Yes, they respond with terror that is harmful to Israelis and Palestinians are caught in the wake. Gaza is a sacrificial ground bent on the destruction of Israel under Hamas leadership. Alternative leader could be fostered, but the current living conditions are horrendous and genocidal. Yes people across the world are quick to misjudge some things, and lack the nuance from being there. I've written extensively on the contradictions of this condition; hamas and Israel spurn each other's violence and the degree, as it were to compare, is much worse on Israel's side than hamas in Gaza. at the end of the day, we must find a way to live on this earth without the inequities that create a hamas for every Israel.
