This war has terrorists on both sides. The Gaza population are caught in the middle and it's entirely unfair. In retaliation of an awful terrorist event, Israel have flattened an entire country.
In comparison Israel is state terrorism supported, armed and funded from West.
According to international law, Palestinians, including Hamas cannot be terrorists because they have an inherent human right to self -determination and resistance:
That inherent right does not extend to using any means to achieve it; just like a state's right to self defence does not grant it the right to use any means to achieve it.
Correct
False, it's considered a sovereign state (aka a country) by 75% of the UN members.

Palestine had a proper government, which split into effectively a civil war after an attempted coup, backed by the US. See Wikipedia:
"In an April 2008 article in Vanity Fair magazine, the journalist David Rose published confidential documents, apparently originating from the US State Department, which would prove that the United States collaborated with the PNA and Israel to attempt the violent overthrow of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and that Hamas pre-empted the coup." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaza_(2007)#:~:text=In%20an%20April,empted%20the%20coup
The split happened after plans were drawn up to undemocratically remove Hamas from power.
Hamas prefers armed resistance, yes. Nonetheless, they were elected and in power in a democratic fashion (before it all went to shit).
