Thats a pretty strong claim, not wrong, but pretty strong as far as views go.

Are you perhaps assuming they have no chance of learning to govern themselves peacefully? I don't subscribe to this fixed mindset. I believe all peoples can learn to do well. It's hard, but possible. So the lack of conolialism isn't the answer, but lack of learning.
Perhaps they can, but there’s 0 evidence for it. Regardless my point was that they have had tremendous suffering since being decolonized. Endless conflict with external meddling from all over. I suspect that had they been under colonial rule since then they’d have significantly less suffering and stable. But what can you do because that ship sailed.
> Perhaps they can, but there’s 0 evidence for it.
Wouldn't this way of thinking prevent any improvement at all?
If I must have accomplished something before believing I may be able to accomplish, how am I even going to try?

> They just want to permanently make life of people in Gaza - at least for a generation - a living hell to teach them a lesson to never try Oct. 7 again. Nothing fair about that. Most of the people suffering had nothing to do with the events they're being punished for.

The formula is displaying an emotional trauma inducing anecdote on mass media coupled with a narrative suggesting action that must be taken to prevent future trauma to the viewer, and then inflicting that trauma and followup narrative repeatedly that as many times as possible through all available media channels. There are hundred of thousands of things that occur on a daily basis all over the world that would induce trauma by viewing or even knowing about them, but if you own TikTok, you can show violent civilian deaths in Gaza instead of Xinjiang prison camps, or Sudan or wherever.
This formula can switch people from fearing to go outside to rioting in the streets in a weekend with enough media power. Anyone who explains what's going on with data and statistics, and doesn't almost involuntarily go along with the trauma conditioning, for better or for worse, is considered to be defective emotionally and an outcast.

Gaza is not just about the suffering but also the fact that the suffering is directly caused by a rich Western nation enabled by all other rich Western nations.
As far as I can tell the US is not supplying the army of Sudan with billions of cash, munition, weapons and unconditionally political backing.

Before the 2020 election, troll farms controlled by the Internet Research Agency ran almost half of the largest BLM and conservative Christian Facebook groups in America, serving impressions to more than 140 million per month.
Something similar is happening here. The goal being twofold, to create divisions and infighting within the rival, and to undermine the rival's soft power on the world stage.
