Every war between Israel and Palestinians of one faction or another was launched after Palestinian terrorism, this one especially. All this talk about Netanyahu's future policies is bizarre, but I guess you need Netanyahu for your "Israel Bad" reasoning. Netanyahu is on thin ice politically with his 28% polling, his lack of support in his governing coalition or even his own party. He's out with a no-confidence vote as soon as there's an actual end to the active ground operation. The next leader is likely Benny Gantz, but either way it will not be Netanyahu who makes any decision about the future - he's barely running the war now.
The EU and US buried their head in the sand with regards to understanding Hamas, as did a multitude of revoltingly anti Jewish Leftist academics and assorted pro Hamas fools. Hamas has never negotiated peace, would never negotiate peace, and has always been as savage and as nihilistic as ISIS. The very idea of letting them run in the 2006 elections is all on the head of the US (Bush administration), the EU and dovish morons who thought they would change from genocidal, savage Islamist terrorists into anything else. The utter stupidity of pouring billions in aid into the hands of Hamas is an unmitigated disaster too.
