I don't think any govt should have the capability to do something like this, and while it would be nice that they tidied things up from this point foreword, the hatred for the organization commanding this operation would still be there regardless.
At this point, it matters whether Israel only kills Hamas members now or from oct 8.
Pakistan just evicted 3 million (yes with an M) Afghani's living peacefully in Pakistan, and frog marched them straight back to Afghanistan. No one gives a **** and nothing will be done.
The inevitability of hatred and resistance narrative is really over-rated. The truth is in the majority of cases where this kind of stuff happens, the group being displaced isn't given any choice, and there is little resistance or radicalization. And everyone gets over it pretty quickly, within a generation or two.
As just another historical example, of infinite examples, in 1962 Algeria announced that Jews could not be citizens, the government started seizing all Jewish property, and the 140,000 Jews were forced to emigrate, mainly to France and Israel. No resistance at all. No radicalization. And a couple generations later everyone has moved on, and really isn't any hatred either.
The whole dynamic and incentive structure of this 80 year conflict is the extreme anomaly where Palestinians are incentivized to live in refugee camps on the border of Israel and "resist" and "radicalize," with Israel being forced to be tremendously restrained in stamping out the resistance, so it endures and grows, at least until 10/7.
But this situation is the extreme anomaly with bizarre dynamics and perverse incentive structures, and there is nothing inevitable about it.
