i can fully understand the criticism around Benjamin Netanyahu from the israeli people (but thankfully he'll only remain in power until Hamas are gone) maybe under a new government, things could change for the good in terms of israeli-palestinian relations

That's the real crux of the issue. Putting aside the various reasons that terrorist organisations form and exist... it's hard to define Hamas as anything but a terrorist organisation. However, then remembering those reasons that terrorist organisations exist, it becomes ludicrous to accept that Israel's bombing campaign is an attempt to eradicate or even reduce terrorism: this sort of military action bolsters terrorist recruitment and increases the threat of terrorism. That is a simple fact.
Thus you immediately have to look for the simplest explanation: that they're using a "war on terror" to further other goals. In this case, the clear intent is to depopulate Gaza entirely. As I've said before, I dont think it's as "simple" as a religious genocide, it's not that they want to kill Muslims, they just want that land emptied. They do not care if the people there die, or simply leave, they just want them gone.
That sort of action - killing or displacing millions of civilians - is hard to justify, and thus there's been an absolutely massive propaganda campaign to create justification. It is ABUNDANTLY clear to anyone with any vague interest or knowledge of global politics or history, that the Israeli response to 7th Oct is at this point massively disproportionate. I find it odd that more people aren't asking themselves why. |
