I would add that much of Palestinian suffering is the result of Israeli “containment”.A. Screenshot of the article (with hyperlink to updates about Israel's notice.)

An article from Al Jazeera about Israel's orders:
"Israel’s army has ordered the evacuation of all civilians living in Gaza City and in the north of the Gaza Strip ahead of a feared ground offensive on the besieged enclave.
The directive came on Friday on the heels of what the United Nations said was a warning they received from Israel to evacuate 1.1 million people living in the north of Gaza within 24 hours."
Israel orders 1.1 million people in Gaza to move south: What to know
UN warns it is ‘impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences’.www.aljazeera.com
B. Compare and contrast (the real issue here) living in an apartheid state, being held captive with little to no food, water, fuel and electricity to living in a comfortable civilization protected by one of the most advanced intelligence military and technology like the iron dome.
C. Palestine: Daily struggle to survive in brutal living environments, continually harassed by Israeli soldiers.
Israel: "while we occupy the Arab's land, we'll give them minimal resources, invite all our families, steal more land, continue the cycle of oppression and if/when they do anything about it we'll just make an example of them.. just be sure to give em a day's warning.. to move in an even more condensed area. And, don't worry guy's, we told them where to go! If they don't leave, f**k em!"
An eye for an eye or in this case an eye for a few bodies, is not, imho, an appropriate solution to ending the oppression of Gaza (or even an appropriate response to Hamas attacks) but is simply the (contined) racist expansion of Israel slash destruction of Palestinian life and communities.
My heart goes out to all the suffering people's of this world. Genuinely hoping for Israel to stop the genocide and captivity of innocent people. Or, at least for the US to stop their "unwaivering support" from every president since the occupation began. It's sickening..
However, Hamas threw away opportunities to help civilians in Gaza. That water pipeline that the EU funded and for which it provided the material — Hamas either diverted it from its intended use or tore it out of the ground in order to build those rockets.
Hamas is not motivated by the welfare of the people it should represent. They’re too busy waging a campaign driven by their blood hatred of the nation of Israel.
So in my semi-informed opinion, Hamas is no less guilty of oppression of its charges.
No matter how you slice it on either side, it comes up authoritarian assholes.
