Also, if there’s genocide going on, isn’t Hamas complicit?

Hamas would like to perform a genocide, but can't, which is why the stick to horrible acts of terrorism. What the state of Israel does is partly apartheid, partly mass displacement and heavily risks becoming a genocide.

I guess you missed the blown up busses and rockets which made bottling Hamas up in Gaza imperative for Israel.

I do think that Bibi and at least some of the rest of Likud should be in prison for what they're doing in the West Bank.

Bibi and co. have been actively destroying any possibility for a two state solution since at least the assasination of Yitzhak Rabin and the Oslo accords. It's a life goal of his. That's way he funneled money for Hamas in the 2000s and he lend a hand in making sure they would become the facto government in Gaza. But that is a political question, before that, there is a moral one: What moral ground do we share? What could be the moral foundation of an agreement?

Rabin was assassinated in the 90's. The Oslo process did move forward in the aughts under a Labor PM--I believe Elud Barack. Labor lost control specifically because of the the relentless terror attacks of Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyr Brigade. So who is to blame?

I doubt that either Hamas or Hezbollah or any other Palestinian entity are any more interested in a two-state solution than Netanyahu or the Israeli right.
