This looks a lot like false equivalency. The Palestinians want their land back. It was stolen from them. They would be fighting the Norwegians or Danes, had it been the Vikings who took their land. They aren't genocidal; they don't want to kill Jews, because they are Jews; they want the Illegal occupation to end.

I'm very curious as to what your definition of "extremists" is, when it comes to settler-colonial land theft? I'd say, one side may well fit that definition, or maybe neither does, but, for sure, resisting occupation is not an extreme position, in fact, there have been very few occupied people who didn't try to overthrow their colonial masters, including using violence.

I think the actions of Hamas on October 7th were extreme since it involved the deliberate massacre of innocent civilians. The Israeli response to Hamas has also been even more extreme since they've killed at least 42,000 Palestinians. I define all types of mass murder as extreme behavior.
