You enumerated a number of terrible things Netanyahu has done over the years. You forgot to mention how he enabled, funded and provided political support for Hamas, seeing them as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority and as a group of crazed MoFos who would perform a steady drumbeat of atrocities thereby allowing the narrative of "Palestinians are all terrorists and don't want peace" and, one cited here frequently "Palestinians never say yes to anything Israel proposes."

Now this may sound like QAnon BS so here's some documentation from the Israeli press. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
