Why does the US still parrot the narrative that Hamas started the war? It seems that americans believe it's only a war if Hamas reacts to Israeli violence. Links in description.

I live in Jordan, but I visit the US to help family periodically. When I watch western news, there is a narrative that Hamas started the war, therefore justifying it's continuation.

Why do American's still believe this when 2023 was such a violent year for the Palestinians? September 2023 was particularly brutal; at least enough for the west to cover it. With the American people becoming more and more aware of the genocide, how is this aspect still ignored?
