My interpretation is that Israel shouldn't be creating more orphans who will have a lifelong desire for vengeance.
They've decided the solution to that is to kill all the children as well.
I fully agree, but doesn't this argument go the other way as well, when children grow up to Hamas attacking cities since decades?
Of course it does. But I think what matters is the magnitudes and what do every one of those children have to lose. If you want security, you have to move to fewer and fewer children having this experience and to more of them having something to lose. Hamas made this equation markedly worse on Oct 7. Israel's leadership made way worse thereafter.
That's not how I read it.

So how to break the cycle?
