This is not a "war", it is a pogrom in a ghetto, the Gaza ghetto is like the Warsaw ghetto.

107. Apartheid South Africa is a better comparison than the Nazis

This post isn't directed at you, OP, but at the Nazi references in the thread. I feel comparisons to the Nazis are off the mark, and does a lazy injustice to the reality of this conflict.

It's much closer to apartheid South Africa. The West Bank and Gaza are clearly bantustans. The only difference is that Israel hasn't stripped Arabs of their citizenship, probably because it would cause sanctions from much of the western world. But they would consider it if Arabs became too numerous, hence the oft-repeated saying "Israel has to decide whether it wants to be a democracy or Jewish". That dilemma is not necessarily rhetorical. The Arab citizens are segregated and subject to race-specific laws.

Some of Israel's supporters live in a blind fantasy world where they think this can continue forever. Demographically, it can't. Secular Jews have held Israel together since its inception, now by 2019 most Israeli children in schools are either Arabs or haredi. Unless something is done soon while the secular Jews are still in control (although that's slipping fast), Israel is doomed to an outcome like South Africa: to be changed on the terms of others rather than on their own terms.

Report: More than half of new pupils will be haredi or Arab by 2019

According to the Central Bureau for Statistics, only 40 percent of students in 2019 will be enrolled in secular state schools • Data suggests growth rate for Jewish schools is higher than for Arab schools.

Israel will be politically paralyzed between extreme factions when this demographic grows up. The haredi in power will be unable to maneuver the international political waters due to being handcuffed by their extreme beliefs. The Arabs will cause a political paralysis. The time for a negotiated solution was 20 years ago, now it may be impossible. The solution will ultimately be imposed on them with things like sanctions.
