Well I think most people in the region want peace, Israelis included. However if Hamas is dedicated to war the basis of religious beliefs what are you going to do?

How better to respond to a decade's long violent oppression than to start a violent revolt against the conditions?

Far right leaders advertise maps of a "greater Israel" from the Nile to the Euphrates, that is a huge provocation. Not something a "peace loving" nation would do.

Netanyahu presents a map of Israel that includes West Bank and Gaza at a UN speech and you think he "wants peace". Blatant provocations like desecrating religious sites, arresting thousands of Palestinians without charge, limiting water access, allowing and protecting settlers as they kick Palestinians from their homes in West Bank are all provocations. And that's just a short list

Massacring hundreds of people in the March of Return in 2018 during a peaceful demonstration is not the act of a "peace loving Israel".

You can't stampede into a room, guns blazing and expect people not to respond. There is no peace in the region with the status quo
