If the conditions in Gaza continue as they have for multiple generations now, the eradication of Hamas will just beget the founding a different group with the same approach, or near to.

The conditions in Gaza are the result of Hamas and similar groups. Israel ended their occupation of Gaza twenty years ago and dragged Israelis out. Israel invested in Gaza infrastructure, but Hamas ripped it out and used it to make weapons. Israel allowed Gazans to work in Israel, who then told Hamas where to attack. Israel tried ceasefire after ceasefire, but Hamas just sent suicide bombers and rockets. And when as a result Israel tightened their border and built the Iron Dome, people say they're in the wrong. Those same people also never think about why Egypt also has a tight border with Gaza.

    Israel has a land, air and sea blockade on Gaza. The residents of Gaza are second generation refugees from the cities that Israel ethnically cleansed in Nakba in 1948. Israel also bombed Gaza's only airport. Israel has routinely murdered, sniped, arrested and abused all forms of non-violent protest such as the March of Return.

      A blockade? You mean the defenses set up by Israel and Egypt after Hamas started attacking?

      Ethnically cleansed in Nakba? You mean when Arab countries declared war on Israel and then lost?

      Non-violent protests? You mean using molotov cocktails, rifles, and grenades?

      You're describing effects but ignoring the causes.

    Whatever the reasons for the conditions, you have a large population of people who lack control of their own fate. Historically, those populations don't quiet down and accept it.
