      A counter example: X initiates violence. Y steps in to end this, and partially succeeds. X wants to continue. Y oppresses X to prevent it.

      Not saying that resembles the Israel-Hamas conflict, just that the logic is a bit flawed. In most random street violence situations, the oppressed in the end was the person who initiated the violence.

        It takes all parties to create peace, but as long as the initial assault continues there can ultimately only be one responsible party.

      You can easily find Hamas own videos and learn from them.

      They’re not even pretending, they outright say they’re running a jihadist war against Jews.

        You can easily find videos attributed to Hamas. You can’t verify that Hamas aren’t funded by Israel. You can’t verify that Hamas are Palestinian. You also can’t blame the oppressed for any actions they take to rebel against their oppressors (If you have any integrity.)
