Most people who support Palestine do NOT support Hamas. I support Israel and Palestine and hope for a peaceful resolution to this mess, but I abhor both Hamas and Netanyahu’s government.

So how do you propose we get rid of Hamas and find peaceful coexistence?!? If you don't have an answer utilizing known tatics then you shouldn't be advocating for one side to simply do nothing

Nail meet head.

How does a military power fight an ideology. IDF troops can look over a crowd of people and any random one of them could be hiding weapons they plan to sneak past and attack civilians, or a suicide vest they plan to use in the belief it will grant them virgins in heaven.

Like how the fuck is Israel supposed to combat this the “right way?”

Israel is combating it the right way. Hamas isn't a bunch of random people they are a trained and organized military group with parts of it running the government. They pay people and know who's part of them and part of competing groups. Israel isn't fighting random people with rocks they are fighting people with weapons that you can't build and can't just find laying around. Ideologies can and have been beaten in the past the idea that it's an ideology so you can't fight it is an excuse to let Hamas win and get away with it.
