Peace has never been the goal for Israel, it’s about colonization and genocide. They have no interest in ever living alongside Palestinians<

WRONG.

They’re never going to draw any distinction between Hamas and the people of Palestine<

WRONG.

Israel either needs to leave occupied territory and remove all their settlers from Gaza<

ALL Israeli settlers WERE removed from Gaza in 2005. That's a really big mistake to make. Can't say I'm surprised though given how many other errors you're making here.

This is Israel’s responsibility because, as we see, they have all the true territorial and military power here. Palestinians have none.<

WRONG. Palestinian extremists hold the most important card. And before them Arab extremists and the armies of Arab nations which refused to recognise the state of Israel. Unilateral withdrawal from Gaza didn't bring peace. Nothing has. This crap that it's entirely within Israel's power ignores this reality. You have the luxury and safety to remain in that ignorance. Israelis don't.
