    Hamas took over and destroyed settlements, because those settlements are illegal and belong to colonizers. They killed the people living there. It wasn’t kill all jews, it was kill all occupying settlers. It’s not a pogrom because they are being colonized and are defending themselves.

      You’ll notice I said “but they didn’t do that”. They were not targeting Jews, they killed and took hostages from among the settler population indiscriminately. That is what made it not a pogrom, not their colonized status.
