.. . . kill my kids, rape my wife, and burn down my house, and I'll agree not to respond.

. . . .

I just know it's really bad and it is going to impact me somehow. I just don't know how yet.

I think you might want to rephrase your post. Seems like you're worried how the actions in Israel may impact you, while in Israel, kids are killed, wives are raped, and houses burned down.

Watched a DW News report this am that said Hamas is offering a "truce" to Israel. I mean yeah, sure, kill my kids, rape my wife, and burn down my house, and I'll agree not to respond. AYFKM?!?!?!!?

I usually think I understand and have at least suggestions for solving conflicts, but I don't understand and have no answers for what is at the root of the now war between Israel and Hamas (Palestinians) or how it can be resolved. I mean I can maybe understand some, maybe most of the issues, but even the positions the parties take on them make no sense to me.

I just know it's really bad and it is going to impact me somehow. I just don't know how yet.

One reason that Hamas chose to launch this dastardly attack might be to effectively prevent Israel and Saudi Arabia from reaching an agreement and establishing diplomatic relations. From Hamas's point of view, such an agreement might further isolate the Palestinians, politically speaking.

Nice insight. Thanks. Iran wouldn't like to see an accord between the Saudis and the Israelis, either. And they are Hamas' bank.
