It's not really complex or anything, what make this issue looks "hyper complex" is that the aggressor in this case is fully supported by the "Western" bloc with it's powerful media and it's hard and soft power, but morally it's a simple issue.

One thing I've noticed is news media equating Hamas with the majority of Palestinians, they weren't even born when they came into power. Apartheid Israel and Palestine are not the same. Israel is the aggressor. Israel and the IDF is not more moral than Hamas. They're two sides of the same coin. Apartheid Israel has ethnic cleansed so many Palestinians that there are now 5.9 million stateless refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. That's half of Israel's population.
