Hamas is literally an internationally recognized terrorist organization, proscribed by many countries including the UK and the Arab League.

CBC also refuses to call Hamas terrorists despite their government labeling them as such.

I'm not sure proffering apologetics for war crimes is appropriate for Beehaw.

ICC has identified (but not prosecuted) war crimes by Likud's Netanyahu and Hamas' Sinwar.

you clearly label Hamas as a terrorist organization

I named countries which proscribe Hamas as a terrorist organization. You obviously don't agree with these governments and it is fair enough to express it like that but not fair to try to bully me into agreeing with you.

a legitimate steward of the civilian population's will.

Hamas has not allowed elections in Gaza since they won power in 2007.
