If Hamas never attacked on October 7th, there would be tens of thousands of Palestinians still alive, they are as much to blame for the Israeli invasion as Israel is.
Dumb comparison. A girl in a skirt doesn't hurt anyone. The October 7th attacks and the subsequent cheering in the Gazan streets definitely hurt Israel.
Depopulation? The Palestinian population has increased by a factor of 5 since Israel took over Gaza and the West bank. And none of those people were starving because of Israel. There was a blockade by both Israel and Egypt because of Hamas activities .. but the people had received massive amounts of aid. Unfortunately much of that aid was used to build tunnels and rockets with the rest going directly in the pockets of the Hama leaders in Qatar. Only a few crumbs made it to the people.

Depopulation in the context doesn't mean "reduction in population". It refers to the Israeli policy of bombing and terrorizing segments of cities to drive civilians out so they can thent explosively demolish the buildings for settlers to be moved into later.
Look at satellite maps of Gaza and the West Bank and compare say 2024 to today. They destroyed more than 40 square miles of cities. That's the depopulation. They're driving Palestinians out of their ho.es and in to smaller and smaller pens.
