Your sense of history is flawed. For example, here is a sampling of Israeli and Palestinian deaths since 2000, long before 2023. https://www.vox.com/2014/7/14/5898581/chart-israel-palestine-conflict-deaths
Moreover, Hamas is responsible for the atrocities it has committed, for the many rapes, murders and kidnappings. The Israeli government is responsible for the annihilation of Gaza because it has chosen to kill civilians, reduce the occupied territory to rubble, and treat its prisoners in ways that violate the Geneva convention. Hamas has not forced Israel to behave barbarically. Netanyahu has chosen to execute the war in that fashion. Pretending the Israeli government bears no responsibility for its own actions is unconscionable.
