Yes, and it’s also not me saying “Hamas are freedom fighters who did nothing wrong.” I can recognize that Israelis have oppressed Palestinians and that Palestinians have responded with horrific violence and that Gaza is currently experiencing a genocide. I’m capable of complex thought!

Shockingly I am able to see both Israelis — a group I was born into and have many family members in — and Palestinians as people.

Framing the genocidal attack of October 7th as "response" and the Israeli war against Hamas as "genocide" - both unfounded in reality - has all the components of what you say you're opposed to, only you've replaced the obvious conclusion to with meaningless platitudes.
