That’s the liberal line. Sorry, not falling for it. The “rest of the world” pushes the whole “Palestinian” garbage on Israel; they are deeply involved. Why not also blame the US for the guilt trips the left-wing “rest of the world” try to put on it too?
This is not *any* liberal’s line. Any sensible country in the world, if faced with a restive minority that has, time and again, tried to support a hostile invading power that wants to exterminate the country, would eventually decide that the restive minority no longer needs to be a threat, and should be booted out.
The Gaza Strip used to be part of Egypt, so why not push the Paleos who live there back into Egypt? If that is too gut wrenching for the Israelis, they could even pay every member of every Paleo (1.8m) family the annual Egyptian average wage ($4800/yr) (so four members = 4 times annual wage in Egypt ($19,200), making them instantly middle class), and it would cost only around $10 billion. In that Israel’s GDP is about $275 billion, small potatoes to be rid of the problem for good.
And Israel could show its disdain for the whole affair by first bulldozing Gaza flat, then bulldozing it further until it is below sea level, and letting it become a shallow Mediterranean lake. Thus there is no longer anything for the Gazans to “return” to.
