People make it sound like Hamas is revenging for Israel crimes at West Bank. But this argument fails because Hamas and West Bank hate each other.

To me it is because the settlements show Israel may say one thing, that "they want peace" but their actions show them tough to trust, by slowly taking the West Bank with settlements. The international community has spoken out against this for years. Anyway, that type of thing wouldn't solve this current issue but it certainly has been an aggravating factor over the years. One to me that seems totally against the idea of being for peace. Stop taking what isn't yours. It seems a simple thing.
