Showing them a better way like a democratic, high-tech modern state i.e. Israel, doesn't work.

Eh. Palestine currently is considered a part of the country/state of Israel. We give Israel billions and billions of aid dollars. And they spend it all on themselves instead of putting money into "Palestine." How is Palestine supposed to ever resemble the rest of Israel in that situation?
 
Okay so I was a little incorrect. Fact checked myself and the US is giving $100 million in aid specifically to Palestine.

U.S. Announcement of Humanitarian Assistance to the Palestinian People | The White House

President Biden announced today that the United States is providing $100 million in humanitarian assistance for the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. This funding will help support over a million displaced and conflict-affected people with clean water, food, hygiene support, medical...

That might sound like a lot, but they're also giving $14.3 billion in aid to Israel. 143x as much as they're giving Palestine.

 
insane that our tax money is going to genocidal maniacs at the highest levels of the israeli government

a few different people have essentially said that the Hamas atrocities were caused by Israel. That the terrorists were products of Israeli occupation. While this is not outright support of their actions, it's about as close as you can get.

How come the Palestinian people don't oppose hamas, because they support them. Keep attacking Israel and suffer the consequences, there is a losing strategy.

If you recall, after Hamas was 'elected' in Gaza, there was a brief civil war. Hamas have subsequently crushed any political opposition, not limited to actually killing dissidents. They are a genuine fascist dictatorship, it's not as if the people in Gaza have much of a choice in this matter. Still, a significant proportion do support them which is, as ever in dictatorships, probably due to a mix of propaganda and coercion and good old antisemitism.

You said Hamas was elected, Palestinians need to elect better leaders, just like the USA

I don't disagree but there have been no further elections in Gaza since Hamas took power. You just need to recognise that it's a dictatorship, and these can only be removed with force.
 
Palestinians are no stranger to violence and they have weapons, sounds like a recipe for a third world election
 
"Honestly, they are doing it because they are evil scum. Just like the people who started this conflict and are to blame for it. And who was that? Tip: It wasn't Israel. If you wonder why the Palestinians were celebrating so hard after the October 7th attack on innocent civilians, it was because they have a long history of committing these atrocities. They were doing EXACTLY the same thing in the 1920s. Read about the Hebron massacre in 1929, for example: Men, women and children raped, tortured, mutilated and then killed. Sound familiar? And those attacks started this conflict. What has Israel done? The country has done what they NEEDED to do to protect themselves against people who wanted them dead. That's it. And for that they're taking the blame for this situation, and the Palestinians are being treated like some kind of innocent victims. It's UTTERLY absurd."

Hey, the left wingers have no concept to fact that there idea of peace is genocide, and don't give me that bullshit about the Israelis: If they wanted to, the Palestinians would be long gone. To all the gays, women and drug addicts, and non Muslims, how do you think they would treat you?
