    If Gaza will be entirely destroyed, there is a considerable risk that Israel will meet the same fate later.

    If a country spans only 22 000 square kilometers and is inhabited by 10 million people, it’s not very smart to make enemies among every group who can relate to Palestinians - for example Muslims (about 1.9 billion people) or perhaps Arabs (around 400 million people).

    Put simply - Israel has withstood various pressures because of US backing.

    The US currently runs a high risk of getting somewhat indisposed due to a president they elected acting very foolishly. If the US should break down, Israel will find itself very isolated.

    If Israel makes a record amount of determined enemies now, it may have a record amount of people seeking its downfall later. Even if the Israeli government doesn’t care the slightest amount about Palestinians, it should consider its own future before acting in the described way.

      It’s been shown that alone they cannot keep up the current rate of genocide, there was a report that they’re already running out of munitions in couple of weeks.

      Their economy is also in shambles and the zionist government will face a civil movement because they ran out of money.

        The last part seems pretty unlikely. The population is entirely brainwashed they will not change course on their own

          I saw a study of israeli children’s books and something like half of them contain racist and dehumanising depictions of Palestinians. They are brainwashed from birth to hate.

          Ironic given that’s what they accuse the Palestinians of. Every accusation is a confession.

        You know that Israel MAKES munitions right? They have a pretty sizable weapons industry. Not to mention with Trump in office, there is little slowing down how much they can purchase from the US.

        I would take any report of Israel running out of arms with a massive, heaping spoonful of salt.

        I would not use to the word “good” in any sentence describing such events - nothing like that is good.

        However, risk of their state not lasting because they alienated most allies and made countless enemies, should make people (even politicians) think twice.

      Only one flaw with your logic… Most of the neighboring countries hate Palestine almost as much as the Israeli’s do. That’s why they haven’t been accepting any refugees and haven’t been putting a lot of pressure on Israel for their actions, Yemen being one of the few exceptions.

        They don’t hate Palestinians.

        Palestine is a unifying call amongst Arabs. The rulers of countries like Egypt and Jordan who have made peace with Israel are essentially Western backed puppets who receive money from the US to stay pliable. They don’t reflect the will of the “Street”. The only notable exception to this is the UAE.

        Neighboring countries have also received huge numbers of refugees from Palestine. They don’t want to receive ethnically cleansed Palestinians for the same reason that European countries don’t want to either. It is immoral, not to mention hugely destabilising.
