I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, except:
> No one is advocating for a cessation of the fight against Hamas
We’ve seen people do just that. Not only that, but also open expressions of support for Hamas and its actions.
I also don’t think it’s possible for Israel to stop attacks until all the people kidnapped by Hamas are returned, rescued, or confirmed dead. Hamas isn’t returning them, because forcing Israel into continued war is its most effective weapon in the war for international sympathy.
The part about eradicating Hamas is clearly pure propaganda though. Doing that would require killing their leaders who sit comfortably in Turkey, Lebanon and Qatar.
