Yes, you are right, but creating a humanitarian crisis purposefully, flattening out whole residential neighbourhoods and displacing hundreds of thousands of innocent people is also not logical, especially coming from a nation that should know a thing or two about oppression.

Just go put some numbers into perspective. The Hamas army is around 30K, probably even less now.

The Gaza population is 2.3Mln.

There are a couple of hundreds of thousands who were already internally displaced, taking refuge at schools, hospitals, etc.

80% of the population of the Gaza strip was relying on humanitarian aid which they just lost. People would starve to death, babies would die, because their mothers won't be able to get baby formulas. I can't even fathom the scale of this tragedy. And don't forget that we are now talking about people with severely limited rights, living in one of the most densely populated areas in the World.

And just wondering if you are put into this and watch how your baby slowly dies, or watch how your closed ones are being killed what are the chances that you would get radicalized as a result?

Already the number of hate crimes based on racial and religious grounds is on the rise this year. And even after this escalation finishes the consequences would be long lasting and those hate crimes would become even more frequent.
