Are you really trying to make “Death to Israel” sound like something good?
People who say that quite literally mean Israel should not exist and that includes make it un-exist through violence. At that point people can’t pretend to not be on Hamas side.
I’ve already answered this, in the comment you’re replying to.
Opposing the existence of an apartheid ethnostate is not, by itself, antisemitic. Or necessarily bad. Unless you want to replace it with something equally oppressive, such as a country run by Hamas or Hezbollah. (The IDF is what Hamas would be if Hamas had billions in funding from the US.)
Israel has the power to stop this cycle at any time. They could acknowledge their past wrongs, and work to correct them, by returning stolen land to the Palestinians and making reparations. Instead they’re determined to end the cycle of violence by committing genocide. Which, I guess, if you turn your head sideways and squint, does end the cycle of violence, because you’ve straight-up murdered everyone.

Well, minus rights for women, children and LGBTQ. I think we should not forget that.
Hamas has the power to stop it right now by releasing all hostages.
There won’t be an admitting of past wrongs if that is a one-sided deal. To comfortably brush over everything Palestine did and does is more than just picking a side. I think it works against a peace between the two groups.
Palestine in the past has made clear on several occasions that they won’t accept Israel there. At all. How do you suggest that issue is solved without Palestine accepting their part in this as well?

You think that’s going to stop Israel?

I would say that, given that Hamas doesn’t have the nuclear weapons and billions/trillions of dollars in US funding that Israel does, that maybe there’s a fuckton more responsibility on Israeli to get their shit in order than Hamas. That is kinda like saying that Rodney King deserved to be beaten, and that he needed to take responsibility for the actions of the LAPD offices since he resisted arrest.
