Given your very polite response to Hector, perhaps you will appreciate a bit more information. Hamas has controlled the UN agency responsible for education in Gaza. All the materials in schools for those young people promote the death to all Jews and destruction of Israel of Hamas. Young folks in Gaza are more antisemitic than elders and have never seen anything but rule by terrorists. Haaretz is indeed an Israeli source, but is far left and has for years been against Netanyahu, so it's a very political point of view. I generally agree with them and I think Netanyahu and the far right have been part of the problem, but that doesn't outweigh Hector's points. The lack of civility in discussions, however, is part of the Israel/Hamas problem, as it is yours.
