1,000,000 Palestinians under 18 in Gaza have learned to hate Jews and are most likely to be radical in action

It's probably a major reason that neither Jordan or Egypt want them in their countries. Sadly, I don't see a way out for either side given the numbers. I'd like to believe that there could be, but I'm a realist.

They have and do all the rights, the Jews/Zionists do all the wrongs. Very clean-cut, binary worldview, esp. when it goes unchallenged by the teachers, government, mosques that all sing the same song.

in our own Country. We all saw how many took the permission orange clown gave them to be loud and proud of it. Any black person knows exactly how they feel. Hatred is generational and probably not reparable.

Initial reports were that 1/3 of Palestinians support Hamas. That would imply that 2/3 of the population do not support their government, particularly in light of how so much of the population has remained destitute over past decades.

Also, your post seems to imply that the only 'realistic' way out of this is to eradicate 1,000,000 Gazans. Maybe you should take a long look in the mirror to see what this reflects.

...
In fact, Gazan frustration with Hamas governance is clear; most Gazans expressed a preference for PA administration and security officials over Hamas—the majority of Gazans (70%) supported a proposal of the PA sending “officials and security officers to Gaza to take over the administration there, with Hamas giving up separate armed units,” including 47% who strongly agreed. Nor is this a new view—this proposal has had majority support in Gaza since first polled by The Washington Institute in 2014.

We can see what is happening to Gazans thought to be radicalized. I appreciate the OP's wishing there could be a way out, but it sounds rather fatalistic.

Pakistan and Indian muslims hate jews also.

And have you seen the protests in Paris, London, and other places in western europe ? And the US ?

There is A lot of hypocrisy involved in all of this.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier’s policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from.

1,000,000 Palestinians, under 18, in Gaza, have learned to hate Jews and are most likely to be radical, in action, and 1,000,000 Israelis under 18 have learned to hate Palestinians and are mostly likely ready to fight Palestinians.
