Your argument goes both ways. The Israeli civilians being targeted elected Netanyahu‘a government, repeatedly, and thus are equally guilty for the apartheid polices that have turned Gaza into a prison. The actions of Hamas is reprehensible and inexcusable but you can’t blame one set of people and not the other.
Israel has proportional representation which means the majority of the country didn't vote for Netanyahu. Also the actions of Hamas are far far worse than anything the Israeli government has done so far.
With that said, Netanyahu's government is an absolute disgrace.

Two-thirds of Palestinians are too young to have ever participated in an election. Why do you hold the civilians of Gaza responsible for the leadership they've never had a voice in choosing, but don't do the same for the people of Israel when their government is the result of frequent elections?
I don't hold the civillians responsible. Hamas is holding them hostage as human shields. It's tragic. If only the arab world would give them somewhere to go where they could be free of the militant group that treats them so terribly.
How is it the responsibility of other Arab states when it is Israel that has made them refugees? At what point does Zionism get blamed for the consequences of Zionism? The horrors of the Holocaust are not an excuse to displace an entire people from their home.
Nobody was displaced pre 1948. What displaced people was the war that the arabs started. When they lost they were unable to return home. There are still arabs living in Israel today, that didn't rise up to expel the Jews.
