Not taking part of Israel's politics, it was a bit surprising that this hasn't been more controversial but politics in the entire region is complicated, I guess. After all, the corruption in the prime minister's office did cause protests when it was exposed so clearly people care.

i think Netanyahu is awful, but there are other reasons for support for Hamas -- i say this as someone who studied this extensively prior to 2023.
Their land is 22 countries, the nearly entire middle east and north africa you can learn that for many map.
Jews that were exiled to Iraq or Persia or Syria will be killed. You can learn this from any media you like that covers current affairs.
You can also see that Gaza has many wide open spaces by looking at the satellite view on Google maps.
People that wish to make a 23rd arab state and destroy the only Jewish state - as they proudly chant in the streets worldwide - generally propose doing this through violence you can learn this by looking at your own account history.
Non-violence is also an option. It's Israel that generally objects to international oversight, secular governance or reparation deals.

> Islamists that hate Jews for not being part of their empire hate them.
That’s not even close to reality, but whatever helps you justify genocide I guess.
Hamas prevented it because Israel has no free will? Israel is doomed to only react to Hamas?
Israel had an option to preserve their normalization and gain and keep the sympathy of the entire world. Instead they prefered to do annihilation and genocide.
No. Hamas prevented it by creating another Arab Istraeli war.
> Instead they prefered to do annihilation and genocide.
No they didn't. You made that up. You can't have a genocide where the population increases that's a ridiculous thing to write.
So a genocidal campaign to level Gaza and cleanse it of its human anima- oops, I meant people, expand settlements in the WB, and occupy southern Lebanon and Syria in pursuit of a “Greater Israel” is self-defense. Makes total sense.
