Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: "Everything we do is justified."

And this is the big long-term problem with Israel's campaign of open genocide. They don't care how many innocents are killed as long as they wipe out Hamas, but in the process, they're inspiring more fanaticism in the region and fueling Hamas and other similar groups. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are terrorist organizations and they have a symbiotic relationship. The only real losers here are the innocent people caught in the middle.

Forgive my uninformed position here, but I'm sure they are aware that you can't defeat terrorism by murdering the ever living piss-fuck out of everyone. There must be another motivation for just killing everyone.

Taking their land. It's easier when there's no one to displace.

Is taking their land effective though? Wouldn't it just spawn cells within the newly acquired territory or other regions and continue?

So much hate can only spawn more hate.

Not in the formerly Palestinian territory, because all the Palestinians would be dead.

In other areas, such as nearby majority Muslim countries like Lebanon and Syria, yes, but then Israel could argue that they were being attacked as a nation, even more like 9/11 than the Oct 7th attack. They could use that as justification for strikes into those countries, since everyone let the US do it in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It just depends on how much they want to go for the military victory.
