You go far back in history enough and we can be here all day over who is guiltier

In this case you don't need to go back "in history."

By this logic, history doesn't exist and nothing that happened yesterday should matter today.

Do we get to go back far enough to the part where israel admitted to funding hamas in 2019?

You guys know this isnt a conspiracy, right? Israeli politicians flat out said this in interviews?

Israel specifically targeted and funded extremists to stamp out non violent palestinian politics.

Israel created this. This is what they bankrolled. It was the intended outcome to justify declaring war.

Welcome to the human condition. Justice isn't real, but that doesn't mean we can abandon it. It's impossible to undo the damage of the past, but if you turn a blind eye to it then nobody will follow you into the future.
