Wouldn't it be great if this would work, if only the other side didn't both see these children as future Hamas fighters if they can only destroy their lives enough to make peace untenable but also as human shields protecting current members.

They are children who need protection not bombing runs and starvation.

They are squeezed and crushed between Hamas and Israel. Used as shields and crushed like shields.

Isn't eliminating hamas will help achieve most of this?

Um. No. Israel is simultaneously trying to eliminate Hamas while also creating a younger more technological Hamas. They aren't going to eliminate the threat. They are just creating new threats.

Germany was able to get rid of the Nazis, too. American and Russia killing the Nazis helped the German people to become nazi-free.

Same thing really. Or the US killing the terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Pakistan. All stellar terrorist free, prospering democratic nations! Like Germany! Murder truly is the answer.

Even assuming that's the case (it's not), how many thousands of Palestinians need to die for it to happen?

Children of Gaza hold a press conference

No. Adults of Gaza hold a press conference in which they present children.
