Neither can it be what the Israeli people want as most of them must be sane.
All peoples are sadly susceptible to the genocidal hatred and dehumanisation espoused by fanatical, far right or extreme religious groups. The Israeli right is less of a religious movement and more a nationalist movement that weaponises religion, there is very strong anti Israeli feeling in the Jewish diaspora, both among religious and secular groups.
The tactics of Hamas and right wing Israel are very similar: every member of the other group is implicated in the crimes against us, therefore their lives don't matter. This is how both sides justify their atrocities, and the death toll spirals along with support for extreme views.
It should not be controversial to say that many people in both groups desire the total annihilation of the other. It's just a sad fact. It's also highly nuanced and fluid, and arguing which side is worse in this respect is a dead end. Both groups also have those who want peace.

Quite, so kill every firstborn before they come after me?
This cannot be the will of the Jewish diaspora
I'd edit this if I were you.
The 'will of the Jewish diaspora' isn't some monolithic world view. Particularly in the US Jews have been leading the protests against Israel's attacks on Gaza and there has been a Jewish bloc at the London demonstrations for example. Jewish opposition to Zionism has always existed and Jews play a prominent role today in criticising the political ideology of Zionism and the actions of the state of Israel.
I think the point is that it's not instant, it creates generational trauma that is very easily weaponisable in the future when those questions are asked at an older age and nefarious forces can point at the Israeli people and say 'them, that was all them'
