    Agreed, and I didn’t mean to imply they will kill them all. But some sort of mass deportation even if done over months, seems entirely possible.

    What doesn’t seem plausible to me is them leaving Gaza even remotely habitable.

    I think just turning off water and power is a crime. I don’t care for either government in this conflict either. I feel awful for any innocent civilian stuck in this mess.

        I think a truth and reconciliation would be amazing. But I’m a realist, just bc I want to believe that could happen doesn’t mean I can pretend there’s any chance it will.

        FWIW I would love for you to be right and me to be wrong. I just lack any hope.

          At the moment there is so much bad blood that I don’t think that the current generation can reach a truce. It doesn’t also help that neither of the sides is ready to make any concessions and without concessions long lasting peace would never be achieved.

        But Palestine and especially the Hamas are also denying Israel their right to be an independent country. The Hamas is also denying Jews in general their existence and wants to eradicate them, how does this work in your equation?

        The conflict between Israel and Palestine is the real one and worth solving, but the Hamas is nothing more than a terror organization.

            I agree on most points with you. But don’t forget we had the UN draw a line between both countries and declared their independence. The answer was a declaration of war to Israel, which they actually won and which resulted in an enlargement of the territory of Israel, which I don’t call fair or helpful in this conflict but understandable from the point of the “winner”…

            I blame both sides for their actions but as long as the Hamas or the Hisbollah exist I can’t see any chance for peace and I really can’t blame Israel for fighting against terrorists. And please don’t forget the Hamas is also very responsible for the death of civilians in Palestine, this is actually part of their strategy and very welcomed by their leadership. Civilian casualties are always welcomed by terrorists because they create anger, desperation and rage and fuel their shameful cause even further.

                It could be so simple. Eradicate the degenerated Hamas, create a demilitarized zone between both countries, accept the other countries existence and independence and then fuck off and live happily in your part of the country.
