Hamas is a terrorist organization that does not care at all about their citizens. I expect everybody to care more about the Palestinians than Hamas does. Half the Palestinian population is under 18, those under 30 were under 12 when Hamas was elected. The majority of the current population did not elect Hamas.

Israel absolutely has a right to defend its right to exist. But if the Israeli government is going to prop up Hamas at the expense of the PA then it has responsibility not to kill so many children, starve the population and withhold medicine and thereby cause so much suffering. Netanyahu arranged for Qatar to fund Hamas with the permission of the Trump administration. The Israeli government ignored intelligence about the terrorist attack on its own citizens while its military protected settlers terrorizing Palestinians in the West Bank. Israel does not have a long term plan for Gaza that promotes peace in the region. Maybe you are right and it will turn out to be surgical when all the evidence is in but it does not look that way so far.

You seem to suggest that all Palestinians are evil so no Arab nations want to take them in. I think that Palestinians are just like Americans and Israelis, mostly good, although Palestinians have harder lives.
