Polls show that nearly all of the Palestinians share Hamas' goal of destroying Israel, so the goal is to destroy Hama's ability to inflict Oct 7 type attacks on Israel, and that means continuing the war until all the leadership and all the weapons, including the vast tunnel network, are destroyed and managing security over Gaza so that they cannot be rearmed. This system has worked reasonably well in Judea and Samaria and there is no reason to think it won't work equally well in Gaza, and no one has been able to define any other approach to ending the Palestinians' ability to attack Israel.Rumours go that many fascists ended up in West German and Austrian governments and local governments alike.
Hamas should be prohibited and its military branch eliminated. But you can't get rid of 'their supporters' and 'like-minded groups'. IRA and resolution of the Troubles will be the path.
