And how do millions of Jews feel about this?
In Israel?
I can't tell you about each person's views on killings of the enemy. It's not unreasonable to want to take some revenge. But you know nobody wants to kill civilians especially children.

The point is that this wasn't just some vagrant hunting ground filled with nomads. People have lived there for thousands of years, had cities and kings before what what we today even realize, some of which include the bedouin who happen to be nomadic, but not the standard.
All that was before god told Abraham to kill them all.
People don't like to point that out when they are trying to demonize muslim people/religion/beliefs and justify the same type of barbarism they blame others for. They want to say it has nothing to do with happened oct. 7th, but it has everything to do with those horrible events.
You say it depends how far back I want to go, I want to know the truth, as far back as it can be found. So far the furthest point of contention between arabs and jews, is after God told Abraham to kill all the canaanites, and Israelites (named after Abrahams son Jacob) are the ones who invaded.
Those are the events that history has followed up until now. Those are the events that led to successive wars and atrocities for millenia.
It didnt start in 1947, or 1100, or 610 or 30bce
It has been raging for literally thousands of years, if not longer

I have made several suggestion to end the conflict. mainly that of Israel accepting some form of palestinian statehood as was intended by UN resolution 181.

If you allow your enemy to be as evil as they want to be, for a day, to stop them forever, well that is interesting moral debate to be had.

It isnt about what suits me, its about the truth.
and yes, if could take the land from egypt (which is where all the second class palestinians live in even more camps) then do it.
Lets say Israel suddenly accepted Palestinian statehood. gave them back land, ended the occupation of the west bank/gaza.
Israel was then required to dismantle settlements established after March 2001, freeze all settlement activity, remove its army from Palestinian areas occupied after 28 September 2000, end curfews and ease restrictions on movement of persons and goods.
Maybe you should try studying some recent history

No body is "right", to say one side has more cause to kill and destroy for any reason, is to support the same thing you are fighting against, it is all hypocracy in the name of "insert cause here"
You are either against death and destruction or you are for it.
I am against it
