    Adding onto this: the conflict has been going on since way earlier than hamas emergence.

      Of course. If you read older history, you’ll notice that this used to be an Arab-Israeli conflict with Arab states on one side and Israel on the other. They fought wars against each other like in 1948, 1967 and whenever the Yom Kippur War was.

      Nowadays Arab states and Israel aren’t anywhere near as hostile to each other as they used to be, so the conflict now is mostly between Israel and Palestinian organizations (PLO, Hamas).
