By Israel's own numbers, Hamas killed two civilians for every military casualty on October 7. This number includes Israeli civilians killed by the IDF to prevent them from becoming hostages. Since the attack, the IDF has killed far far more than two Gazan civilians for every member of Hamas they've taken out. They've leveled Gaza and corralled its population into concentration camps.

The reason there has been no peace is that Israel doesn't want peace. They are an expansionist state. They continuously expand their borders through the following method:

1. Have Israeli citizens living right next to Arab populations (Palestinians and others.)

2. Israel antagonizes their neighbors until some militant group responds violently.

3. Send in the Israeli military to fight the militant group.

4. Use fighting the group as cover to expel the Arab population from an area. Justify this by saying a "buffer zone" is required to separate Israelis and Arabs, like the Korean DMZ.

5. Allow Israeli civilians to settle inside the "buffer zone." Once again have Israelis living right next door to Arabs.

6. Antagonize their neighbors until violence again erupts.

This is how Israel slowly expands its borders. And they're not stopping at Gaza and the West Bank. They're doing the same shit in Lebanon and Syria. Arab land today. Buffer zone tomorrow. Israeli cities and towns the day after. It's a slow claiming of Israeli lebensraum one bit at a time, and they've been doing this for decades.
