I see you do care about both Israelis and Palestinians, and that's why this is well-written, rather balanced, and contains much that anyone could agree with. That's very rare among anti-Israel, anti-Zionists, Jew haters, Hamas supporters, and useful idiots for Iran. (Not that I'm calling you any of those miscreant names.)
I understand and share your sympathies for those Gazans who did not support Hamas, play no role in their terrorism, yet they are the ones who pay the price for Hamas's racism, genocide, and nihilism. However, the picture you paint of Hamas and its leaders, and the October pogrom, seemingly supports the need to obliterate them.
One thing that is not considered: Hamas could end this now, by releasing the hostages, as the ICJ ordered them months ago, ending rocket attacks, and leaving Gaza in exchange for their lives, provided they never return.
On October 6, 2023, Israel was not inside Gaza and were killing no one in Gaza, not even Hamas. A day later, savages massacred and tortured 1200 innocent souls. That changed everything, Hamas must be wiped out, and there is no turning back on that one.If the rest of the world cannot persuade Hamas that it's over and they lost, then they must allow Israel to do what they need to do. A temporary ceasefire that allows Hamas to survive and even regroup, is off the table. Any ceasefire must be accompanied with the end of Hamas as presence and force in Gaza.
You're talking about Israel needing to change, sure, every nation could make changes that are improvements. Hamas is incapable of change, and they are incapable of recognizing Jews as people who are entitled to their own state. So no matter what anyone says about Israel, not matter how many accusations are hurled, almost always without with any actual proof, nothing can change one iota until Hamas is gone.
If they don't want to go peacefully, the war will continue. Using human shields, preventing Gazans from fleeing battle areas, stealing food and medicine meant for the civilians...this shows what Hamas is, and none of it will deter Israeli leaders and military by protecting their citizens. No one can name any nation that would not do the same.
