Netanyahu's methods of getting rid of hamas, is only going to lead to a stronger angrier hamas, or a new group born out of the destruction. The cycle will never end it seems. How doesn't the world or the people of israel see that?..

The leaders seem fine with perpetual conflict. The problem is there is no will to end the ongoing conflict by those that have the power to end it. The endless cycle makes some people very rich while keeping the people divided and under control by using fear as a weapon.

Yet how do you make the general population see that and make better choices at the voting booth. In the USA you don't even have a better choice available, it's between bad and catastrophic. Israel still has multiple parties and the people have options to vote for more moderate parties that actually want an end to the conflict. However politicians have used the holocaust trauma for so long while dehumanizing Arabs all around them so that the majority is genuinely scared for their survival and flocks to ultra right wing politicians for protection.

Hamas was born from previous conflict after the first Intifada (uprising) as a rival faction to Fatah in the PLO. Netanyahu actually supported Hamas at first to undermine the PLO and keep Gaza and the West Bank divided. Palestinians in Gaza voted for Hamas just as Israelis have voted for extremists to keep them safe.

So yes, without intervention, the cycle will continue. New groups will rise up using people's fear and lust for revenge to continue the cycle.
