What you are suggesting is happening, the collective punishment of a nation for terrorist acts, is a war crime:

Hamas is the ruling party/government of Gaza.

Is it a terrorist act if it was performed by a democratically elected government?

De facto, not de jure. Hamas is not a signee of genocide convention, so ICJ has no jurisdiction over them.

Because Netanyahu wanted it to be that way. Here's the Times of Israel debunking this propaganda line: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up....

It's a standard tactic of drowning readers with lies and misleading "facts". It takes time to refute them.

The people voted for Hamas = Hamas government. Just because some Israeli politicians were at one point supportive of Hamas is relevant how?

extremely pedantic take. there is no actual leadership (as we know it in the rest of the world) in palestine/gaza.

this is all playing house. a real entity (like the US, UK, Australia, Urugay etc do) is participating in stuff like this... would you still hold the Taliban to the same standard? They are running Afghanistan but ... are they the real deal? No, lol.
