@101RadioheadCovers Yeah, Netanyahu had to form a political alliance, to stay in power, and he allied with some of the worst extremists. The guy he put in charge of the West Bank had previously been arrested for planned terrorism, he's a religious nut bigot who compares homosexuality to bestiality, he's a racist who says "Palestinian" people don't exist, and he made public a psychotic plan to segregate and subjugate (no federal representation), exile, or kill, any non Jews in all of Israel/Palestine. He wants all of what he thinks was the God given land of Israel, and the map of "Israel" that he has on his wall, includes parts of Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

I don't think what Hamas did was morally good, or even strategically good, but it's basically impossible to say it wasn't expected. Violence is the most common response to colonialism, and ethnic cleansing. A Ghandi or Mandela response is far less common, but probably the better strategic response, so that there's no doubt who the aggressor is. A violent response allows Israel to act like the innocent victim, and respond harshly.
Ze'ev Jabotinsky acknowledged that Zionism is colonialism, and predicted the native response, 100 years ago, in 1923. The native response is generally to fight, until the bitter end. Israel was also founded on terrorism, elected terrorists, like Menachem Begin, and celebrate terrorists. They were the ones who taught their neighbours that terrorism can win you a state.
Israel is basically using the blueprint for colonizing North America. Send out settlers into native territory, piss off the natives, the natives react violently, the cavalry comes in and squashes the "savage" uprising, the border is eventually expanded to include the settlement, then rinse and repeat.
And Gaza is basically an open air prison, similar to the ghettos of WWII. There was the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Jewish prisoners sometimes violently fought back, too. Not quite on par with a lack of proper healthcare.
