The Hamas charter is more-or-less isomorphic to the Likud charter, Likud being the currently ruling political party of Israel. So it's not fair to assign asymmetric blame to those charters.

On the contrary, I was using those charters to establish shared blame, rather than singling out Israel for every act of aggression in the conflict.

    Regardless of what their pieces of paper say, Israel is the one that started wars against all of its neighbours.

      This is a multi-sided conflict. Ignoring reality and history won't help, even if you feel very strongly that one of those sides is right.

        - 1948 - Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon invade Israel
  - 1956 - Israel invades the Sinai
  - 1967 - Israel preemptively strikes Egypt in response to military buildup 
  - 1973 - Egypt and Syria invade Israel
  - 1982 - Israel invades Lebanon
  - 2006 - Hezbollah attacks Israel
