What does this logic apply to on the Palestinian side?

Hiding among civilians as human shields? Planning terrorism? Lobbing rockets? Electing and supporting a mafia-terrorist leadership?

In terms of global politics, the Palestinians are digging a deeper grave every year.

The geopolitical significance of Arabian oil will fade each year with alt energy and bevs.

Global warming will make the middle east increasingly hard to exist in without a technological base.

They keep increasing their population without an economy to support even 10% of it. Increasing geopolitical chaos means that foreign aid will disappear. Even if things were opened up, Gaza is a beggar economy that may not even know how to build a self sufficient economy based on their lack of resources or lack of competency in anything.

I find the moral absolutism of the Palestinian side in the face of their sins just tiresome, and it isn't helpful to resolve their exigent danger of mass starvation. All Israel needs to do is keep the current state of affairs and 80% of the Palestinians will starve to death at some point in the next 20 years.

If we want to collectively punish people who voted for (or whose election resulted in the rule of) a bunch of fucking morons, well... I have some bad news for US citizens...

I've seen comments unironically arguing for collective punishments when it came to the US, and they're at least popular enough that they don't show up as gray/[flagged].

Or Israeli citizens for that matter, they elected someone who is wanted by the ICC on suspicion of war crimes and crimes against humanity much more recently than the Palestinians elected Hamas. That doesn't justify collective punishment either, of course.

The users you replied to are pointing out a simple fact that the Israeli govt lied, it is only you who is moralizing about anything.

The Israeli government may have been lied to by a radicalised IDF commander. I assume it's at least a squad required to do what's in the video.

When considering the Israel - Palestinian conflict, remember that the median age in Gaza is 18.

A large chunk of Gaza are children. 43% of the population are below 14 years old.

For comparison, the median age in Europe is 40.

Fairly certain the logic is applied to the other side, just not in this article due to the lack of relevance.
