The humanitarian situation in Gaza is such that no one there is a terrorist anymore, they are freedom fighters. When a country behaves like Israel has consistently behaved, it is propaganda to call them terrorists.

Gaza is practically a huge outdoor prison, with little or no electricity, clean water, access to healthcare, jobs, and everything else you probably take for granted in a decent life.
People who lived in Apartheid South Africa often describe Israel/Palestine as an Apartheid state.
Killing pre-teen children, who was born and grew up in this prison, for throwing rocks at the ones keeping them imprisoned, is the acts of terrorists, not freedom fighters.
When one entity uses state-sanctioned terrorism against another that doesn't make the other side moral by default, particularly not when they also use terror tactics and deliberately paint a target on their own civilians knowing full well neither side gives a moment's pause to slaughtering entire city blocks to try and sway international opinion.
This is why the hardliners and extremists of both sides need to be eliminated, because they are the enemies of everyone else, not each other. Those extremists never really attack each other, because the deaths of the civilians they are supposedly associated with is their real goal. That terror gives them more power.
If however these extremists were to cease to exist, the rest of the people would be much more willing to actually work with each other to improve everyone's situation. Right now, they're stopped from helping the civilians of the Gaza Strip who suffer from this devastation, because their suffering serves both the Israeli hardliners who want to create a mass "leeches" who would destroy the paradise they claim they've created, as well as the Palestinian hardliners who use the suffering of these people to get the sympathy of the world . . . and financial support from those sympathetic viewers of their situation. All those extremists live the high life of the tension they've created while never having to deal with the tension itself.
Basically, the hardliners of both sides are terrorists, the general public of both sides are the victims caught between two groups of psychopaths.
A highly simplistic statement. Gazans are the victims of conflict involving Israel, Hamas and, so far unmentioned, Egypt. If I were a Fatah supporter in Gaza, I wouldn’t feel anything other than terrorized by the human rights abuses meted out by Hamas or Israel.
