The historical norm appears to be that even extremely brutal wars do not on their own radicalize the defeated population.
What about Germany after WW1?
Maybe you’re right about wars overall but I think it’s quite different if innocent people were murdered en masse in an open air prison. The only way to stop the continued suffering is to overthrow the oppressor.
That would require an independent Palestinian state but somehow that doesn’t seem likely.
How many innocents do you think would die if the Israeli state would cease to exist? On October 7, the IDF was confused and absent for just a few hours and look how Palestinian terrorists used this situation. Now imagine this at a national scale.

Didn’t suggest that.
