Hamas is not surrendering. They are still launching rockets at Israeli civilians. Hamas is the face of Gaza. Yes, it's their decision not to surrender. They have agency there.

I'm not defending Israel's actions nor their people for not revolting against their government. But I'm also not defending Hamas or the people of Gaza for not revolting against them.

They are still launching rockets at Israeli civilians.

Oh, is that the metric?

I mean, I'm sure you're right, and they should not be killing Israeli civilians, no. But at least they have some kind of reason and justification for it, beyond Israel's, which is "They keep fighting back when we shoot them and take their shit."
