So you support collective punishment. A literal war crime.
And I'm not a pacifist. I am against genocide and the slaughter of innocent civilians. Something I think everyone should oppose. I don't think my tax dollars should support that or any ethnostate. I am opposed to my tax dollars going to Hamas as well.
If someone came in my home and harmed me, I would be fine with going after them. I don't believe I have the right to murder everyone in the vicinity of them to do so (neither do any domestic or international laws). But I also wouldn't have imprisoned that person on a 22-mile stretch of land for over a decade. Or spent the last 75 years stealing their land and terrorizing them. That tends to anger people and create blowback.
