Some of the events that happened in the past year...
Record expansion of settlements that are illegal under international law, encouraged by the government

100 attacks a month by extremist Jewish vigilante groups against Palestinians, sometimes backed by the police

Israel elects a government where Likud joins with far-right Jewish ethnonationalist parties like "Jewish Power", which are opposed to any Palestinian state ever happening.

Jewish settlers go into the Al-Aqsa Mosque (which is agreed by Israel to be for Muslims) and insist on praying there. Later there are a series of violent incidents between police and Palestinians.

None of this justifies Hamas' atrocities but is the Israeli government, which has much more power in this situation, acting responsibly? It seems like they are doing their best to make things worse.
