131. Your analysis is backwards

"You keep attacking a country, inflicting killings and terror, the country will keep trying to suppress that threat, and after decades of this,... they will increasingly turn to more radical measures." This is exactly what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians. Here's one figure from the UN.

Since 2008 this is the lopsided loss of life in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Note It does NOT include any casualties killed in Gaza since October 7th.
Palestinian fatalities: 7,334
Israeli fatalities: 371

So who is attacking whom? Who is inflicting terror and killing those on the other side? Why do you think the Palestinians might have been fed up with being victims and so struck out with rage in October? You justify the attacks on Gaza as a response to October 7th, but you are mum on events leading up to that date. By October 7 Israel had killed over 6 times the number of citizens they lost on that day. And of course this chart says nothing about the Palestinian homes destroyed, olive groves demolished, land confiscated and people beaten and abused.

I have no doubt Israel is going to make life so miserable that many Palestinians will self deport and then Israel will forcibly deport a million Palestinians or more. As far as thinking Israel is going to give back Gaza, the government has declared the opposite. They are taking everything except a miserable slice of land in the desert south where they will erect razor wire and tents, probably paid for by the UN.
