There's a few thousand in Gaza and 50,000 in the Palestinian regions. Plus a lot more in Israel of about 155,000 identifying themselves as Palestinians.
I understand what you say in relation to Hamas, but they only formed in 1987 , 20 yrs after the boundary changes and Israel's occupation.
The killing is something else. To keep these people like animals in cages will result in animal behaviour and if no one is prepared to even consider the lifting of the sanctions and the blockade, what can Israel expect ? If anyone thinks it's right to keep these people as they are now , then how will anything improve.
IDF attacks on Gaza over the last few weeks (not sure what the total deaths and injuries are) is viewed as protecting Israeli citizens , Israel should not be attacking other countries. It would appear that Israel can do as they please whilst the world cowers for fear of being called anti-Semitic or pro Russian.
None of this contributes to any stability in this world and between Trump and Netanyahu we are living in very dangerous times. Maybe some think that's ok, so long as Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel.
