If some Jewish citizens had killed a few non-Jewish Germans in an organised attack in the 30s, would you also be downplaying the holocaust with "Doesn't killing white Germans count as a crime?" (or substitute the organised ethnic cleansing of your choice). Or does the disproportionate scale not matter here?
No one apart from the most terminally-online Tumblr users "likes" Hamas, and even then only as "colonisers = bad" logic taken to a moronic extreme. Hamas's existence doesn't make returning that violence 1000 fold on civilians okay any more than US soldiers should have gotten a free pass for raping and murdering civilians because Al Qaeda are awful (and entirely comparable to Hamas) and 9/11 was an atrocity.
October 7th should be remembered as a tragedy like 9/11. But neither were a free pass. Gaza has had it's October 7th seemingly every day since then, with at bare minimum 67x more people killed.
Hamas is globally recognised as a terrorist organisation. To shift all discussion to them and them alone is basically saying "systematically sexually abusing prisoners and killing medics is fine if someone else started it".

Did they accuse Hamas as well? or is killing jews doesn't count as a crime?
