Hamas is a symptom, not the cause. You, of all people, should know it even if you're not ready to accept it.
If the Israelis seriously thought that they could live the dream by putting one part of the Palestinians behind bars whilst slowly but surely nibbling at the West Bank until there's nothing left, and get away with it, then sorry they were deluded. There's not a single population on Earth that would accept the treatment Palestinians have been subjected to for the past 75 years. If it can soothe your pain, all of the colonial or caste based societies thought that way, until they painfully were proved wrong.
I know that you're quite lonely on your side of the argument and besieged right now, but please don't reduce it to "Hamas started it". You're better than this.
Trust me when I say that I understand the immense pain and anger among the Israeli population at the moment, and I certainly won't ask for public protests on Tel Aviv's streets. However nothing will ever justify what we're seeing right now, and I don't think that you quite grasp the extent of the current damage done to the Israeli cause on an international level, even in the West. This onslaught on Gaza is absolutely unprecedented in its methodical destructions, killings and documentation. It trumps by far anything Israel has done since 1948, back when social media wasn't a thing, and massacres or mass expulsions could be quietly swept under the rug.
Forget about the Western mainstream media, some of which started to turn their coat, or the Israeli's. The images, discourses and videos willfully uploaded by your own politicians and soldiers on the net, or Israeli civilians actively blocking aid coming in Gaza, despite their country being investigated by the ICJ for plausible genocidal intent, are watched by people around the world who will soon have a real say on how their own countries should behave towards Israel.
A day will come when Israel will be judged as a country like any other on this planet, even by Western standards, and the horrors of the Holocaust won't be enough of a curtain to hide behind.
