Israel’s new defense minister has said security forces would no longer apply administrative detention orders to Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, and thus only Palestinian suspects can be held indefinitely without trial.

It's indeed not a binary choice.

I can easily condemn Hamas and Hezbollah too for the terroristic organisations they are.

But I can also acknowledge the irony in saying that without Israel's military the holocaust 2 would happen while that same military is attempting to pull off that same thing in Gaza.

Israel has had the military capacity to literally flatten Gaza and the West Bank for decades and kill every single Palestinian. They haven't. If they wanted to do a genocide they wouldn't need to "attempt" - they could just do it.

Hamas would do it if they could. They have stated that they would. Not just the military and political leaders but all jews as they displayed on Oct. 7th.
