I can understand why that imbalance may be seen. My hope was to lean heavily into the hypothetical in which Israel takes all levels of needed accountability, to include the very things you're describing in terms of leadership change. My anticipation is that there is nothing short of completely leaving the region that would make Hamas content.
The civilians of Palestine and Israel may be open to peace. The Israeli government and Hamas are the barriers to that peace. The Israeli government can at least be challenged and communicated with much more easily than Hamas can. I worry that there is no level of accountability short of the dissolution of the State of Israel that will get Hamas to stop. While I do think there's something to be said about reducing the conditions that funnels average Palestinians into Hamas, the reality is that Hamas is the strongest force in Gaza. Is the expectation that Palestinian civilians overthrow Hamas? Hamas seems highly violent against critics.
you need to spend some time learning about islam. r u a atheist? let me help you with a quote from a famous atheist who spent his life 'preaching against christianity
“There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death. I have mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse.”

when a muslim dies in combat its a straight ticket to heaven. if he straps a bomb to his azz and gets on a buss full of kids of his enemies and pushes the button its a straight ticket to heaven. no other straight tickets to heaven only dying for allah/islam in combat
