Oh there'll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.

What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you're inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.

Honestly can't blame them if they did. Obviously killing Israeli civilians is indefensible but they are ensuring that thousands more will grow up hating all Israelis. The same logic Israelis and Israel supporters are using to kill innocent Palestinians is what Hamas runs off of. Each group blaming the entire "other" group for everything. Exactly like netanyahu wanted all along I imagine.

I wouldn't doubt that there's also a fear that Israel will just annex the evacuated territory after this, to compound matters.

And if they don't, its very likely they'll just make it unlivable so the people can't feasibly return The current Israeli government would be quite happy with Gaza City just being empty. That would solve a lot of long term problems with only short term consequences. A final solution to the Palestinian problem, if you would.

Turns out the Israelíes liked 1930s German policy, just not who it was directed against. They're using the same playbook as the former oppressors of their people to inflict the generational pain onto others.

Interesting to see them justify how much God supports their hatred.

I'd genuinely be shocked if they didn't try to annex the majority of the land if not all of it. Cornering a mass of people isn't a wise decision but they will use the inevitable violence as an excuse for all out ethnic cleansing

A much higher number of justifications for that government to crack down even further. First you demonize the enemy, then you strike against them, and when they inevitably defend themselves, you have a justification to kill the people trying to kill yours. That playbook is millenia old and still works.

We call it fascism now.
