I didn't excuse any of the actions by any of war participants

Well for one thing, your insistence on calling it a war with two active participants is gross minimizing of the ACTUAL role of Israel, which is that of one of the biggest and most advanced militaries in the history of humanity systematically eradicating a civilian population and framing it as self defense.

probably won't end until one is successful with their genocide

More fundamentally dishonest framing making Hamas appear many times stronger than they are, thus making it seem like Israel is fighting for its survival when what it's doing is systematically eradicating a civilian population

I don't like how Israel is killing ~~mostly~~ almost exclusively innocent people

Fixed that for you and neither do I.

and I don't support the actions of Hamas either.

Me neither, but you're treating them as of they're in any way the equals of Israel, or even in control of the outcome of anything.

You can play innocent all you want, but whether it's on purpose or not, your framing makes untrue assumptions that skew the picture far away from anything even REMOTELY resembling reality.
