The New York Times article makes clear that Bibi backed away from cease fire agreements because the radical right would have tossed him out of government. Their goal is to see ALL Palestinians removed from Gaza, not to stop Hamas. It's to round up 2 million people into concentration camps.

After a year and a half of Israel's targeting civilians, I'd think you'd figure out this has little to nothing to do with Hamas. Your argument doesn't mesh with developments as their currently exist.
