Finally the population is getting the real point.

What point?
-
Oh yeah absolutely, but they'll never be free under the Israeli boot either, and at least Hamas's boot won't starve the whole damn place to death.

I actually can't tell you which one is worse if someone asked me that question. Israel is definitely trying to make nazis proud, but at least they would not personally execute my whole family just because I'm not a muslim who listens to music.
One personally wants to kill me, other one is doing the killings already

Man, they are literally executing anyone they see for just existing in Gaza. Americans, health workers, ambulances. They literally said that babies born in Gaza are already terrorists. They make prisoners admit they are Hamas by threatening to drone their whole family. So yes, they do execute your whole family just because they live there.

Gaza already has Christians so clearly they're not exciting people just for not being model Muslims.
you'd see a genocide on the levels not redditors could even defend it
That is simply not based in reality. Hamas does some horrid things don't get me wrong, but they're fundamentally an authoritarian state rather than a genocidal state.
-
I'm genuinely not aware of most things you mentioned, but to be fair I live in east Europe and my head is full with Russian invasion right now
Then maybe you should not speak of something you don't know or care about and focus on what is going on around you especially the part where "Israel votes against UN motion condemning Russian invasion of Ukraine"

And we never saw one turning into the other when authority struggled?

Mostly no? Struggling authoritarian states seek, among other things, war, but they do not as a rule commit genocide. That's mostly a fascist thing.
-
I don't see why, in a world in which the UN, who literally created the State of Israel of thin air, exists, we have to assume that, within or outside of the Palestinian population, Hamas is the only possible interlocutor for Israel.
This is a huge assist to Netanyahu.

So USSR under Stalin, Sudan, Myanmar, Rwanda, etc. they don't count?

Hamas is the only possible interlocutor for Israel.
That's because everyone else is almost no established government is willing to support armed resistance against Israel. Dialogue will not save Palestine.

I have the impression you are envisioning a much more violent response to Israel than what is needed or would be actually favorable for the Palestinian population.
Remember that Israel is nothing without what the US and Germany, mainly, provided for decades.

I never said authoritarian states can't commit genocide, but rather that they usually don't use it as a way to support their regimes unless they turn fascist. The Holodomor was a way for Stalin to suppress Ukrainian independence, while the other three were long-running ethnic conflicts exacerbated by malicious and/or incompetent European decolonization.

The point I'm trying to make is that Hamas won't turn to genocide simply to gain popularity (though I do expect quite a few massacres); either they'll do it even if they're popular or they won't even if they're unpopular, and I'm leaning towards the latter.

I'm not sure what you mean; what situation are you talking about here? Because under the current status quo Palestinians only have one means of resistance and that's violence.

Palestinians do, maybe. But the International Community should act to contain that instinct and provide an alternative.
This is not a war to be fought in Gaza, there you can have only massacre.
This war is to be fought in each and every country that deals or passively observes the massacre.

I also don't think that Hamas will commit genocide.
They will commit, as usual, terrorist attacks and keeping them in power is instrumental to the genocide perpetrated by Israel. -
Zios have been invading Palestine, stealing land, and murdering people for more than a century.
Hamas is just the current excuse.
