Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its “responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip”.

Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory.

    People can still read and absorb oral tradition. Most of this dispute is based on shit from 3000 years ago saying 100 years is too far for it to matter is objectively idiotic.

      It’s not if the answer to it is to conduct a fresh genocide to remediate the issue. There are peace lines from 1967 that are broad enough where a defacto Arab state and a defacto Jewish state could live side by side. And since the mid 1990s it’s been primarily Palestinians rejecting that idea on favor of advocating for genocide.

          where people are routinely scooped up

          That was your characterization of the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip. That characterization is obviously incorrect. Pointing it out isn’t some faux pas.

          The issue here is that both sides have historically done evil shit in the region. But since the end of the Cold War, funding for overt traditional war by the Arab side has dried up and as such most of the atrocities done in the name of that war have too. But terrorism on the part of the Palestinians has risen dramatically. And that rise really can’t be attributed to Israeli actions.
