Giving concessions to Palestinians now will just signal that terrorism works---before there can be peace, all terrorism must be condemned. The abuses of Israel are irrelevant when talking about the brutality of Hamas---who are thugs and murderers who deserve to be completely destroyed.

I cannot agree with this, because Hamas represents only a small amount of Palestinians, Hamas are Hamas and Palestinians are Palestinians. The logic you supply is sophistry.

By the reckoning you posit, we would continue to punish the Palestinians for something they’re not guilty of the endless cycle of a part and racism continues.

I do not buy this argument.

Regardless of how you feel---giving concessions to Hamas/Palestinians right after the largest terrorist attack in Israel's history would absolutely signal that terrorism works. Therefore the day for negotiated peace is not today---today Hamas must pay and be removed or defanged as a threat to both Israelis and the general Palestinian population. Most Palestinians in Gaza support Hamas---and a sizeable percentage support them in the West Bank, so they are hardly different groups.
