So the Prime minster of israel, and the rest of his extremist cabinet, just want the war to rage on, as long as they get their paychecks, and as long as the people they dislike are dying. Doesn't matter if it's at the cost of kids, elderly, pregnant women, hostages.. They just pretend to have a mission.
So let's talk about the supposed mission of "Eliminating Hamas"
The israeli gov will claim they are only targeting Hamas..
But, for years, Netanyahu was reported to be helping fund Hamas (as per TimesOfIsrael & NyTimes), and in 2019, He himself said and i quote; "Whoever wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support the strengthening and financing of Hamas.
"On top of that, The current money management minister of israel, said in 2015 and i quote "Hamas at this point, in my opinion, is an asset."
So how can you eliminate your asset?
Here's the government approach;
Keep Hamas in power. Offer anything except a sovereign Palestinian state "for security reasons", and disrupt any real effort for Peace (Osslo accords). Ignore the illegal settlements (condemned by the UN), and the killing of Palestinians in the israeli controlled West lender.
Make life unbearable for Palestinians, Facilitate unemployment conditions, cut the water sources (documented), introduce bills to control the courts, destroying the biggest buildings in Gaza to displace civilians, killing and arresting civilians who protest or show any contempt of past actions, Hamas attacks you, literally do whatever you want (Defending yourself).
5 months after Oct the 7th, Gaza flattened, at least 30k civilians dead (most are women and children as reported by the pentagon), israel killed more hostages than released, Hamas still around.
The goal was clear, even before Oct the 7th, they never wanted Peace, or a Palestinian state.
2023 was reported to be the deadliest year in the history of the West lender. It got to the point where Biden himself had put a ban on individuals committing atrocities there, and that's not mentioning the uncontrolled army killings, because they see no consequences, they act as if the Palestinian lives do not matter.
As cited in South Africa's case, the army led by Netanyahu believe everyone in Gaza is complicit, as Netanyahu cited the biblical term "Amalek" at the beginning of the offensive on Gaza, he said "Remember what the Amalek has done to you."
The biblical scripture regarding Amalekites reads "I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.
'The IDF soldiers later filmed themselves shouting "There are no innocent civilians". They also have filmed themselves celebrating destruction, burning aid, looting homes, posing in women's underwear, mocking traumatized people, the list goes on..
Currently, famine is looming on many in Gaza, as reports confirm israel have been blocking aid to the entire north, for three month, till two days ago, when they got pressured into letting 13 trucks in, which is way short of what is needed (500 trucks per day as estimated by UN).
Earlier this week, The US Senator Chris Van Hollen admits after crafting the national security memorandum, and after the reports, that israel is not in compliance with international law, they are blocking aid such as maternity kits, water purifiers, from entering the Gaza strip, sending back a lot of the of trucks, not to mention letting civilians block aid entrances..
He also stated that, “There is no doubt that the claims that Netanyahu made that UNRWA is a tool of Hamas are "flat-out lies,"," The person who runs operations on the ground in Gaza is a 20 year U.S. Army veteran”, he added.
Earlier, The israeli gov claimed 12 UNRWA (Aid agency) members were affiliated with Hamas, without providing evidence, and the US cut aid to UNRWA, so did the EU, amidst famine. Now amidst investigations, there is no evidence of such affiliation, even UNRWA stated that personal were tortured to admit such links. The EU have restored funding, and the US is still pending..
It has become evident that the Netanyahu's government, and those with extremist ideology (Zionism), never wanted peace in the middle east (as stated in the Likud party charter) they want all the land from Jordan to the sea, and they will abuse the power given to them without oversight
As history shows, if we really want to achieve peace, we must deliver justice, prosecute criminals, and figure out democratic offerings, without malicious intent from fascist governments.

And before you go,Here are my 3 main questions/concerns to be answered thoroughly for you to change my mind;
1- Why would the israeli army bulldoze trees in the middle of the roads, render all water treatment plants nonfunctional or destroyed, blocking aid trucks from entering maternity kits & water purifiers?
2- According to all humanitarian fronts (UN, IRC, ICP and more), 1 million civilians in Gaza right now are facing stage 5 of famine (the highest), why would the israeli gov still blockade the aid when they can control how it is distributed and got the armed forces to secure that?
3- Some people are yelling "release the hostages" on posts of dying kids (as if these kids got them), do you think it's acceptable for the isreali gov to starve kids/innocent civilians to death if Hamas can sort themselves out and not surrender?
