What's fucked up is there's a ridiculously easy fix.
If US and other western goverments told Israel if they seize any land, we stop giving them billions of dollars a year, Israel would stop annexing land. Which would likely mean they stop instigating Hamas. They'd have nothing to gain anymore. They'd finally have motivation for the conflict to end.
They're fine starting wars right now, because they have so much money to burn on "defense" and they know if any actual countries try to help Palestine, then Israel can (and will) drag the West into it and start WW3.
Even if Palestine is completely erased from the map, there's no reason to think Israel will stop. There's a very good chance they just start doing this to another neighbor next. Which is why literally all of Israels neighbors hate them.
There’s truths and lack of understanding in your comment. Israel doesn’t want that land. They left that land. They don’t settle in that land. It has nothing to do with why hamas hates them. Israel has settlements in the West Bank and I agree that the USA should hold Israel responsible for not expanding settlements there but the issues with Gaza and Hamas are very different than the issues in the West Bank.
Hamas just wants to kill Israelis no matter the cost. Hamas is mostly a Gaza thing. Not a West Bank thing. NO peace is possible between two parties when one continually shows the desire to eradicate the other. Israel doesn’t want to erase Gaza (or at least hasn’t in the past). They have the ability to and could have done it whenever they wanted. They actively put effort to not eradicate them. They may not treat Gaza well but it’s obvious they aren't trying to kill them by the fact that they are still there.
Using this same logic, Hamas must not want Israel gone; because they are still there
……no. I think it’s pretty clear which side has the ability to decimate the other
