@girander @lovelylovely Hamas was democratically elected, but in 2006. But looking back doesn't really help too much here.
The thing is: the Israelis can, should, and probably will get rid of Netanjahu at the next elections.
How can we free Gazans from Hamas? Hamas are regularly killing inner-Palestinian opposition as "Israeli spies".
I don't doubt that there are many innocent Palestinians and Israelis.
Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't both Netanyahu and Hamas voted in?

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from.
The idea was to prevent President Mahmoud Abbas—or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government—from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state
