Palestine is not Hamas. Thats an oversplification of the internal dynamics of the Palestinians. Gazans are openly critical of them. Something unheard of before the war.

Sure, but that depends what you think free Palestine or from the river to the sea means.
Hamas isn't the only military groups, multiple polls before all these showed a fairly large support for "armed struggle", groups like PIJ.
PCPSR has shown this is a consistent result for years of polling.
2024 poll at West bank and Gaza stripe has it at 54%
Their popularity tends to go up with more armed conflict against Israel as well.
But more importantly, those slogans are all around the globe now.
A more tamed Israel ain't gonna end with a more tamed Palestine imo.
