The borders of the Gaza strip have not changed since the Oslo accord of 1949, all Jewish settlers in that area were forcibly removed by Israel in 2005, and there has been no permanent Israeli presence in that territory since.

Gaza is not fighting for the west bank, they are not fighting for an invasion of their land by settlers... No Hamas is fighting because they're being paid to do so by Iran.

The west bank is a different issue entirely. Israel is absolutely invading there. It just doesn't have anything to do with Gaza at this point. They aren't run by the same government.

Okay, so apparently Hamas is fighting for the liberation of the thousands and thousands of people who have been detained without any charges and held at the whim of the IDF. Many of those are children, which is another aspect of this genocide.

You seem to have a more nuanced view, thank you. What parts of the apartheid system should be given highest priority in terms of dismantlement?

Just because you have some notion of what defines a child does not mean the rest of the world abides by that. Hamas will recruit kids as young as 14. Even in the US if someone under 18 commits a heinous crime, they are often tried as adults.
