Good luck telling the Caf or pretty much everyone who isn't a historically staunch Israel-supporter that 'we did not start it'.
imagine for a moment that you are not Israeli, in fact you've never been to Israel and you had to google it to see where it's on the map.
You read a dry description of The Conflict on some neutral website, let's say that Wiki is one such site. You now have a very basic grasp of the narratives of both sides.
questions should be asked:
1. who said Hamas' fight is not justifiable? how and why were they established?
2. why would they surrender? why wouldn't Israel be the one to stop their bombardments, arrests, land seizures, and all the other stuff?
3. who defines what terrorism accounts for?
and many more...
There are posts here that deem you worse than Iran, even saw some saying worse than Hitler on the other thread.
This is not the place to state that Hamas should surrender and expect people to agree with you.
But... good luck arguing this corner
hope everything keeps quiet in Haifa. I have plenty of family over there...
