What I won't do, is condemn the fact that they fought back, which is both their right and their duty.

Anything you don't like can be dismissed as left wing if you try hard enough. I suppose history is also left wing? Just absolute nonsense.

I haven't defended Hamas. I've repeatedly condemned their actions, so rather than concern trolling, why not learn about the region instead? This is what I don't understand, you've had 2 days to show some curiosity and you've shown none. Still pretending the attacks happened in a vacuum.

Is 'concern trolling' the new catchphrase? Not really sure what it's supposed to mean

Basically your argument is they tried a peaceful walk in 2018 which ended in atrocity. Therefore the only alternative option is apparently to invade Israel and murder, rape and abduct civilians. Those are the only two possible courses of action. It's their 'duty'.

You have defended Hamas and this thread provides plenty of evidence of that. You have not really condemned the attack besides a couple of wooly statements that 'what happened was awful but...'. And you are welcome to consider me an uneducated ignoramus on Israel-Palestine relations. None of us are experts on it, yourself included. You don't need to be an expert though to realise that there can never be a justification for what has happened in the last two days. It wouldn't hurt to occasionally acknowledge both the limitations of your own knowledge and the legitimacy of an opposing point of view
