(4,816 posts)They keep thinking the Palestinians will somehow drift a way or become compliant to Israeli apartheid. Given no one is offering Palestinians sanctuary elsewhere, it is hard to imagine any scenario that allows this settlement plan that does not de facto mean endless, at least low intensity, military action between Israelis and Palestinians. Hamas being truly eliminated seems to be increasingly doubtful in the current version of what seems to be military whack a mole. Maybe they cannot mount another October 7th scale attack and may just become some newly adapted Hamas 2.0 by maybe some other name, but that surely does not bring peace to Israel. Bibi's defense minister made a speech in just the last couple of days saying if there is not a plan to put a peaceful Palestinian administration in place in Gaza the only alternative is endless Israeli occupation with all its inherent risks on the ground, to the economy and to Israel's standing in the world. Bibi has Israel between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
