Yes.
So you're holding people accountable for something most of them never even had a say in?
Normally the people here are always saying it's the obligation of the people to go against their evil government. Why not in this case? How many protests took place in Palestine against Hamas? Or against the violence they used against their own people?
There's an evil government right next to the border ready to make their lives hell if they do that, and it's people don't give a fuck.
You think Israel would go against people in Gaza or the Westbank when they would try to change their laws to the better? Or go against the terrorists in their own country? There is no indication for that to be true.
People in Gaza and Westbank regularly protest, but exclusively against Israel. That does seem a lot like they are happy with the status of their own government. Which includes regular attacks on civilian targets in Israel, the oppression and sometimes murder of gay people, oppression of women and minorities, corruption and seizing of global aids and a call for a pure muslim country.
You don't think the near-permanent humanitarian crisis, half the population being children and Israel still effectively controlling Gaza gives Palestine the exception from the normality? Nothing is normal about Palestine so why should we treat them normally?
