The comparison of Hamas with the actions of Japan in World War II is an excellent example of the difference between what solved the problem for the Allies then, but is not working for the Israel now.
The war-cult of Japan was built around the persona of the Japanese Emperor. After Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliterated, the Emperor protected what was left of his country by surrendering. The Emperor's acknowledgment of the wrong path taken released the people of the Japanese nation to become a sane, peaceful, and prosperous society. The emperor was human, and humans can admit mistakes.
In the 1930's, the Nazis toyed with starting a new religion, but shied away from it, apparently thinking it would be a step too far. Their regime ended with the death of Hitler. However, as we have seen, there is still plenty of resentment against the Jews all over Europe and in the US.
All religions teach that eternal, all powerful and all knowing God doesn't make mistakes. That is why Hamas and the religion of Islam which teaches submission to the will of Allah is not going to reform any time soon, unless Allah has a change of mind or heart. Only the most brutal and determined action by Israel could possibly convince the Palestinian people to abandon their support of Hamas. The Palestinians have been victimized by their leaders since Muslim totalitarian extremism appeared on the scene with the fall of the shah.
The cult of Hamas is to turn Allah's minions into crazed murderers and starving, helpless hordes of followers. No one stands before the Gazans to tell the Palestinians that Allah doesn't want to turn their children into cannon fodder. No one says that Allah wants the Gazans to rid themselves of the devil who has plagued them and the world disguised as the Angel of Darkness and Death and calls itself Hamas. No one comes to call for peace for the people by destroying the destroyer. No. Most of the clarion cries are fore Israel to "go slow, stand down."
It's unlikely that anyone can kill Allah the way Nietzsche killed the Judeo-Christian god by proclaiming "God is Dead." The Christian god is dedicated to "peace on Earth, good will towards men." In Islam, a similar benevolent mantra might do much to mollify the current perception that the sole purpose of Allah, with Hamas as God's sword, is to go forth and deliver "Death to the Infidel wherever you may find him."

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all chavinistc murderous cults.
