That's the question for them, it's not like America, where we can leave and went back to US 10,000 miles away, they go back, they go back 16 kilometers away and then there are no way they will know even if they leave (which they actually did back in 2005) this is not gonna stop, now tell me, what is Israel incentive to stop?
The only incentive for Israel to stop is the cost imposed. Until that cost is imposed they clearly wont stop. No one so far is able to impose that cost, but what we are seeing now is incredible upgrade in Palestinian capabilities. And it's very very concerning to the western alliance.
The cost the Palestinians will pay is huge. But they doent exactly have a choice, so they will bear the coast regardless. Whether it's 5,000, or 100,000 or indeed the whole 2 million.
Personally If I was Palestinian I would evacuate Gaza and send them to Germany or UK or Italy by boat. That patch of land is not worth he casualties I think.
But looks like Palestinian leadership is determined to keep them there at all coats. I think it s curious decision.
If you do this for 100 years, unless you can eliminate Israeli altogether, they are going to be right next to you in the next 100 years, and as my point state, unless Russia or US or China want to beat Israeli down for you, Hamas alone don't have enough power to bring it down, so if you are doing this for 50 or 100 years, the American story of defeat won't work. And quite frankly, it's naive to think something divine to happen and things will go your way all of a sudden. It may happen, never say never, but being a pragmatist, I jsut don't see it that way.
Russia and china will never help Arabs conquer Israel. it will have to be done with other powers and Arabs themselves. It might be done peacefully, they might integrate them into the Middle East, but a lot more wars will need to happen before this can be done.
