Isn't mass murder of civilians the most Israeli thing ever? For those out of the loop, this isn't an anomaly.
It's a societal-level policy: 47% of Israeli Jews want all Palestinians killed; 82% want all Palestinians forcefully expelled (i.e., ethnically cleansed) [0] which would constitute genocide. 56% want the same for all Israeli Arabs.
So, it's pathetic when Westerners act surprised at Israel's antics: you can't support a genocidal state and then be shocked when it does genocidal stuff. This is just Tuesday for them.
Once you understand this, Israel's actions are not an anomaly. It's the natural expression of people who consider their neighbors beneath them, and barely even human.

Palestinians just want their stolen land back and not to be murdered by an invading force backed by a global superpower.
Then why do they consistently call for genocide?
And why do they oppose a peaceful two-state solution?

I do like to set a personal moral standard a little higher than "what would Hamas endorse?"
Hamas also doesn't endorse genocide of Jewish people.
In 2018, after the deadliest attack of Jews in the U.S. (11 killed during an attack on a synagogue), Hamas condemned the attack: https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/187356-181028-h...
They do want Palestine (from the river to sea) to be under Muslim and Arab rule, which is still a racial and religious hierarchy similar to Zionism, which we have seen can all to easily lead to genocide, so I don't want to suggest they are beacons of morality, but they are certainly no worse than Israel, and they are operating from the position of having one of the world's most advanced militaries and media apparati stacked against them
