The Palestinians brought this on themselves.

How?

They support a government that refuses to talk peace. The position of Hamas, in its founding documents, is that the state of Israel should be exterminated. You reap what you sow.

But the state of Israel is also trying to "exterminate" Palestinians. Everything from their far right gov't to people chanting "Death to Arabs" on the street.

It takes two to tango. If Hamas should step down, then Israel should step down at exactly the same moment.
