Netanyahu made sure Palestinians didn't have a moderate leader. He made sure it was Hamas so he could smear all Palestinians with it, turn world outrage against them, then brutalize/attack/kill them like he is doing now to drive them out of Gaza completely and forever.
A leaked video from 2001 shows Netanyahu recounting how he manipulated America and American presidents, how he sabotaged the Oslo Accords and how he has been intentionally striking Palestinians to terrorize them ever since.

When you talk about "pure evil" make sure you include Netanyahu. He wanted what happened on Saturday to happen so that he could use it for his own violent purposes.

All the dominoes are falling exactly as Netanyahu planned it years ago
By strengthening Hamas, Netanyahu recklessly gambled on the lives of Israelis – and in fact, last Shabbat, more than 1,000 of them paid the price of that foolish gamble with their lives / Dmitry Shumskyhttps://twitter.com/haaretzcom/status/1712407766004904345

Collective Punishments
The term refers not only to criminal punishment, but also to other types of sanctions, harassment or administrative action taken against a group in retaliation for an act committed by an individual/s who are considered to form part of the group. Such punishment therefore targets persons who bear no responsibility for having committed the conduct in question. Historically used as a deterrence tool by occupying powers to prevent attacks from resistance movements, collective punishments for acts committed by individuals during an armed conflict are prohibited by IHL against prisoners of war or other protected persons.
International humanitarian law prohibits collective punishment of prisoners of war or other protected persons for acts committed by individuals during an armed conflict.
The imposition of collective punishment is a war crime.

Food distributions are underway in #Gaza and the #WestBank in response to soaring needs after the escalation in conflict – which has seen almost 264,000 people displaced in Gaza to date.

Thank you World Food Programme. Half of the 2,000,000 population of Gaza are children.

I see some folks on this hellsite claiming whatever happens to Gazans in the coming days is on them for electing Hamas.
1) There hasn't been an election in Gaza for 17 years.
2) It's literally the same unhinged argument Bin Laden made to justify killing American civilians.

"So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates." - Osama Bin Laden murderous screed in 2002

Gaza’s 2+ million population are mostly children, who live under blockade in what Israel’s own former intelligence chief has called an open air prison.
The overwhelming majority live in poverty.
Many suffer lifelong psychological and physical trauma.
Children don't vote. They do die though, when brutalized and oppressed.

In 2007 Jimmy Carter wrote a book about Israel called "Peace Not Apartheid" and
everyone called him an anti-semite.
