to kill everyone on the other side.

It's not fear, it is certainty of increased attacks by Hamas on Israel.

Get rid of Hamas, install a different government that will arrest terrorists instead of celebrating them, recognize Israel, turn over all of the current members of Hamas... then Israel will be under pressure to let Gaza exist with normal travel and import / export ability. Perhaps the Palestinians can operate a large tourist destination with all of their beach front property, maybe even with casinos or something.

sort of like the UAE but without the oil money.
