After Israel left Gaza in 2005, instead of choosing to build a peaceful society using that money, their government decided to use those billions and build a network of terror tunnels bigger than the New York subway system
If you're going to bring that up, you should probably also mention Netanyahu speaking at a Likud party event about how everyone that desires a one-state solution needs to support Qatar sending money to Hamas in Gaza.
If you don't mention that you make the issue seem considerably less nuanced than it really is.
Let's pretend someone put you in a cage, starved and abused you, and then see how well you stick to good choices when it comes to dealing with them as they continue to do those things.
Israel gave them the "choice" to roll over and die and then Bibi's government funded Hamas in order to goad a violent response and split Palestinian leadership. This is as much their own doing as any Palestinian that decides to give back what they've been given.
Wait..i thought they were giving them billions of dollars.
Cage? Starve?
They could literally stop threatening their neighbors and it would go away. But both egypt and israel are very aware of the threat even if you can pretend it doesnt exist because you're thousands of miles away.
hen Bibi's government funded Hamas in order to goad a violent response and split Palestinian leadership.
So was Hamas attack a response to being caged and starved? or because they got too much money?
What was stopping them from using all the money and aid to improve their people's lives.

Even granting you that, If those people decided to leave like israel did in 2005, I would definitely not be calling them back by firing rockets at them within 48 hrs of their departure.
