I understand your focus, but it's misplaced methinks. After the Oslo accords the peace that was forming was undone by outside forces - Iran was a major player there. Recognition of Israel was happening recently and it was undone by outside forces again. Arafat reneged on going after terrorists too. The mass shootings reported every day do look like murder, but Hamas also doesn't seem to worry one bit about killing innocents or getting them killed by their policies and tactics. It's no peace in sight at the moment.

This all sounds like a justification for genocide. Regardless of these facts, true or not, the only fact that matters is that the state of Israel has political and military authority over the territory of Gaza and the West Bank, and it is presiding over genocidal policies in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Daily Palestinian people are being murdered and starved at the hands of the Israeli state. Pointing at Iran and saying "but Biden" is a weak justification, and really provides moral support, for these genocidal policies. I find it increasingly hard to believe that people will seek out justification for supporting the systematic elimination of a people in the 21st century. Really, these arguments are no different than the nonsense many of you reject from posters like Dope.
