Nobody treats the Palis worse than Hamas except for maybe the Arabs at large
Hoe come Israel is a functioning democracy and despite hundreds of billions of dollars Gaza is a piece of shit armed camp that has sworn the death of all Jews
I guess the Allies needed to stop treating the Germans like shit
40 years later the Allies re-unified Germany.
70 years later, Israel has done no such thing with Gaza and the West Bank.
To be fair, they almost got it done if it weren’t for Arafat being steaming pile of shit at Camp David w Slick Willie. But still, they left a million people living in a concentration camp which they are now scraping off the face of the earth. But don’t call that bull-dozing genocide.

JFC Pawz. Concentration camp? Quit visiting the UW campus. It's making you punchy bro.
And read a different book. The Palis have entirely dug their own hole here. The history is clear. Hamas is their representative government and 10/7 is what they are about. As someone once said, people get the government they deserve.
Israel has not "occupied" shit. They regulate the border of who and what goes in and out SOLELY to prevent what happened anyway. Imagine what Gaza would've been had they not done that. And still, the missiles are firing.
But Palestinian Arabs are free to work and live in Israel (well, they were. I assume that program is shut down forever now). Pali Arabs do live in Israel. There is an Israeli-Arab on Israel's high court. But there was not a single Jew in Gaza. Not 1. Israel is the light. The rest of that dust bowl is the dark. There is a reason why Egypt's security wall is bigger and better than Israel's. They don't want them either.
This is a tale of poor and uneducated people who have zero chance at a pipe dream for which they raise their children to be willing to die. We're talking about a population overrun with Koresh Branch Davidians. Hamas enjoyed wide support in Gaza and they, Hamas operatives, were pretty indistinguishable from gen pop. Hamas is an organization that was deeply rooted in and organically very much a part of the city and culture of Gaza.
The Gazans could have had a very different fate. It was 100% entirely in their power. They had 4 chances at more, and even then, they could have had a bright future even with those 4 fuck-ups. And they chose Hamas. They are Hamas; Hamas is they. There is no "other". This idea that Gaza was full of great people and a few loons running the show is propaganda propped up by Hamas and crazy people on the left in the west. We? and the rest of the world hold the entire country of Germany responsible for WWII. We don't say "it was just Hitler and a few goons" or "fine people on both sides". It's Germany. They built it and they had to eat it, even if there were decent people who opposed in secret (and, don't kid yourself; the Nazis enjoyed wide support in Germany).
At the end of the day, you have one salient issue here: looking at what is going on there through a western lens. You can't. There is a whole other set of values and mores at work there that are not even remotely related to basic things you hold true.
Bottom line: Israel is the kind of country, and they are the kind of people, who you can live next to in peace and prosperity if you want to. They're like Canada for Christ's sake. Except they know how to fight when they have to.
