A Civilian Evacuation of Gaza Will Never Work if You Understand the History of Israel

Palestinian civilians will likely not evacuate through any humanitarian corridors Israel or the regional Arab partners establish. They believe that Israel’s intention is to carry out another nakba, or “catastrophe”: the forced displacement of Palestinians from Israel during the 1948 war.
They do not believe (nor should they believe) that they will be allowed to return to Gaza after the fighting. This is why the Biden administration’s push for a humanitarian corridor to allow Gazan civilians to flee the fighting is such a uniquely bad idea.
To the extent that a humanitarian corridor accomplishes anything, it would be to accelerate the depopulation of Gaza and the creation of a new wave of permanent refugees. It would also offer the right-wing extremists in Netanyahu’s government a clear roadmap for doing the same in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
So now the conundrum is: how does Israel defeat Hamas without an invasion, which will undoubtedly cost thousands of civilian lives?

They can't. There are no other options.

War is hell. There are no better options than going in and turning over every stone.

Israel wants the land of Gaza Strip for themselves. Everyone knows it. Hamas gave them the excuse they need to take it. Hamas knows they gave them the excuse and they want Israel to take it so they can point and say "see what they did?" And the fighting continues for another thousand years.

What percentage of Gazans are Hamas?
Posted on 10/14/23 at 8:01 am to Shakey
I don't care. they're still shooting rockets at Israel.
That has to be stopped .

When they start the genocides of the Palestinians all of Muslims shall declare war on Israel. Any M.E. gov that does not give full resource cooperation to the Palestinians, like the Saudi King, shall be overthrow for being a western pupppet. Israel shall recognize that the genocide of 2 million people to steal their land shall result in their own demise.

They want to be human shields for terrorists, they get what they get.

I don't blame Israel for doing what they're doing, but we all know most of these refugees will end up in the U.S. Just what we need, more radical Muslims walking the street.

They don't. They've tried political pressure, they've tried tolerating their rockets. It's taken things like the parading of a young woman's naked corpse, beheading babies and slaughtering innocent civilians to finally make them (and at least some of the world) realize that there's no way a 2-state solution exists with Gaza remaining in Palestinian hands.
They will invade, it's as inevitable as Thanos. Likely though, they'll lose their drive before finishing the job. There's already a bit of a "buffer" between Palestinian buildings and the armistice wall, they will likely just push that back a little further.
The sad and tragic truth is that groups like Hamas refuse to accept the existence of Israel at all, they certainly aren't going to take Israel pushing them into a more confined area. The only way this truly ends is if Israel completely expels (by killing or transporting out) every single Palestinian in Gaza then taking that area over as part of Israel.

Palestinians voted for Hamas to be their political leadership. RIP.

If Israel's priority was possession of the strip, they would not have patiently accepted the Palestinian terrorist setting off bombs and killing innocent Jews riding a bus or eating in a restaurant. Israel's priority and goal is simply to end the "experiment" of trying to live peacefully along side terrorist whose professed mission is to kill Jews. It's not complicated nor secretive.
Their goal is same as yours would be if in same situation, safety for your family and fellow countrymen.
The reasonable reaction to this is commending Israel for their long-suffering patience dealing with those suicidal/homicidal maniacs.
Lastly, the Palestinians aren't welcome by any Arab neighbors because they cause problems everywhere they go. People who view this in any other perspective are not dealing with reality.

I don’t think Israel cares about civilian collateral damage. The same civilians that grow up watching cartoons depicting Jews as blood drinking zealots. The same civilians that to a man, woman, or child have blood lust for killing Jews.
I think Hamas has created the environment for Israel to eliminate the Palestinian people and Israel may do just that.

Just tell them all to come over to America and give them free phones, free rent, free cars, free everything!

Israelis shelled those corridors too. Not really a viable option.
They better have bunkers and basements.

All that sounds like their problem. Thoughts and prayers that they figure it out.
