And what consequences did Israel face after destroying almost all of Gaza and killing over 32000 humans, mostly women and children, and blocking aid and starving the rest of the population, and killing aid workers, journalists, and doctors?

Nothing. Literally zero consequences. Yet someone like you is not convinced.

1) Thanks largely to social media, you have a point. However, it's still abundantly clear that Israeli can act how it wants. At best, western politicians (many of whom are bought and paid for by Israel!) will make platitudes and try to distance themselves while the latest US-back Israeli attrocity/massacre "blows over"

2) could be both; Israeli commanders made clear that grunts can do what they want - "all restrictions are removed", and we now know that commanders designated "kill zones" where anyone was to be murdered. I believe it's both US-backed Israeli policy, and they haven't got full control of their "soldiers"
